A civil lawyer will only take the case if they see a profit for themselves in civil court and doing nothing will result in nothing.

Consult your city's Civil Engineering dept but that's the right question to ask to give your propoerty more value depending on the remediation costs.

Hi Ben:My firm handles real estate litigation and transactions.

@Oswald Oswald- in general  SFR are  better  investments than condos ...if looking at  condos there are many things to review and  research (  resale cert/  litigation /  budget / reserves / ins / CCRs ....let us know if we  can  assist  with a loan and condo  review

A good civil engineer can make a project happen , they know the ins and outs of the permit process and they know what the permit office wants .

It's only about $25,000 and a year to litigate it and you'd have to prove damages.

Things like this take about 4 to 6 months to litigate depending on however many other creditors there are. 

They have denied mediation, refused payment, and we are in litigation. 

> If civil unrest, covid problem, bank problem, or devalued dollar from inflation doesn't occur, and everything holds together, then real estate will only devalue a small amount starting early in 21.

It's a way to get predictable returns modeled out over years in times of economic uncertainty and some civil and political unrest.
