Morris.. you can spend your way out of civil litigation.. but the AG's in NJ and IN  sink their teeth in and there are criminal complaints..

If it's a matter of a quarter point but the more expensive debt is with a bank that offers better other terms like amortization and LTV, and they have a rock star loan officer, I'd go with the slightly higher interest rate product.2.)

I am curious if anyone has had success in other areas let me know.We are thinking of relocating as it looks like there is no end in sight for this.If you had 250k to spare or sitting in a non interest bearing account, you could look into the hard rock hotel condos.

IMO Most of the time, people lose lawsuits or settle for much less due to laziness and lack of rock-solid knowledge about the illicit/illegal acts the opposing side committed.  

That's why most of the other people have suggested that you find a way to buy a property yourself, and cut your teeth on managing STR (or even LTR) with your own property. 

I was shown about a handful of their holdings in the Houston, Memphis, and Little Rock markets, but the cash flow and CoC returns were less than $100 per month and 2-4% after factoring in additional expenses like 7% vacancy and 10% maintenance per month to go along with 20% down and conventional mortgage.

To date, I have a small portfolio in the Rock County area.

Like Jordan Peterson says, if you are showing your big teeth, you'll like never have to use them.

It has been like pulling teeth to get money from her.

Have a good lease with "teeth" - late fees for late rent, occupancy rules, pet rules and etc. - and do not violate your own lease by being too easy, or very quickly you will not have any lease at all and your tenant(s) will do whatever they want at your expense.
