When title is pulled the pending litigation will be discovered and there won't be a transfer of ownership until it's approved by the court, administrator, etc. 

@Alvin NealDo you have a good real estate agent to recommend in the metro detroit area that deals with water bill litigations with a title company?

most contractors do not have the money to litigate I see that as an empty threat.. if he is licensed which he needs to be in CA.. 

I earned a MBA from Wharton in Real Estate in 2015 and earned a Professional Engineering license in Civil Engineering / Construction in 2013.

The rules, however, go on to say:"[A] lawyer may represent a client if: (1) the lawyer reasonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; (3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal; and (4) each affected client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.""

Another part of this that makes it more complicated is that these managers filed civil suits on debt from previous tenants.

File  charges, possible file a civil claim through the magistrate and move on.   

Civil Life is in the heart of South City and really great, probably our favorite to visit.

Yes, there are serious political issues but what an improvement since the times of Pablo Escobar and the civil war with the FARC!

This is not common, but real estate investing is the second most litigated industry in the country and so your risk runs about as high as doctors and law enforcement for being sued.
