After tons of research, we've found that the resources, tools, and ongoing support they provide are truly unmatched.

Be that as it may, with this approach, you will have to provide some value for your folks even to consider this.

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

I’ve found that offering cash can sometimes provide a workaround.

With all respect to AirDNA and the amazing data they provide for STR owners, their pricing tool is not on par with most tools available there. 

And assets that provide you with great depreciation but not great income or stability are just a form of robbing from Peter to pay Paul.   

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

What other advice can be provided here?

Hello BP Community,Unless I am mistaken, Maricopa County (Phoenix, AZ) does not post their probate court records online, unless you can provide specific names or case numbers.

You will need to provide an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the BK every time you apply for credit, apply for a job, apply for a bank account, etc.Bottom line is if you’re working day labor type jobs for small companies and live on a cash basis it might not affect anything.
