I recognize, of course, that I could go with hard money, but that's not my FIRST choice. 

Then he started refusing my rent until I agreed to pay what I had just proven was paid and the court told ruled for me because you can't refuse and return rent, the turn around and sue for non-payment (duh!).

I want someone with proven success with style, content and timing to do a turn key campaign.
