The cost to foreclose can be $100000 and the property can come back to her damaged or burned to the ground.

In addition, we charge for damages as they occur or as we discover them.

With a second cause you sue for delinquent rent, late fees, damage, et al.You can file a first cause alone, a second cause alone, or a combined first and second.My question:  If you plan on filing a second cause (i.e. the deadbeat renter is gone and you have possession), how do you find out where he is to serve him the court summons? 

Yeah, it's an interesting model--I can see how it could work really well in some scenarios and not work at all in others. ...for one thing, you have to use furnishings that in-line with the look and grade of the property, and which are appealing to the typical tenant--which I'm sure can be a bit hit and miss...   ...I suppose that one hidden benefit with a furnished unit is that you don't have so much wear and tear from tenants moving furniture in and out, hanging pictures on the walls, etc....I just finished a rehab at a LTR property--the tenants were pretty good and didn't cause any excessive wear/damage, but even then, there's always a lot of patching and re-painting that needs to be done after long term tenants leave....

If arrests are made your buddy's cleanup costs might be court ordered and collected by the court as restitution for the damage.

The pipe bursting caused extensive water damage to the second and first floors and about 4 inches of flooding in the basement. 

None of our earlier models had any of these features.Probably won't get our damages back, but still feel happy adding to the thief's legal issues.Our locations stay really clean now.

Mid term stays are much shorter than long term so there should be less opportunity for damage.

The house was in fine shape, not sure they ever fully moved in by the looks of it, needed nothing to be done for a turn but a minor cleaning so we agreed to let them out of the lease, full SD back as long as they signed an agreement there was no mold and they would never pursue any damages or claim any issues etc. 

There is water intrusion and potential structural damage, as detailed in the inspection report that I received from the seller.
