Landlords and Investors are concered about evictions and what that may look like 9 out of 10 times.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with family.  

There are a lot of good posts on here so I would take some time and read the forum so you can hit the ground running.

Do this quickly because some counties have a time limit on when you can appeal.I recommend you research the market for:- Comparable Property Sales- Condition of your property, including anything that may affect your property's value- If you are really serious, an expert appraisal may be worth the effort.

If it is not adding up, and you can find an attorney specializing in that type of thing, it may be worth paying for a little of their time.
