I think you need to ask a lawyer.

You should already have a lawyer and a contract drawn up with your brothers.

If your lawyer is telling you to play ball then do what he says.

From everything I've read, this should be covered by a landlord insurance policy that covers damage done by tenants (specifically, this tends to be categorized as Vandalism because the tenant is knowingly doing damage to your property).Here are some photos of the aftermathtldr; A tenant smoking meth cost my colleague over $25,000.The key takeaways here I believe are: 1) get a good insurance policy, being stingy might cost you years worth of profit, 2) screen your tenants well and inspect frequently (especially for lower class properties), and 3) be prepared for unexpected costs, this might be a rarer case but **** happens.Also I'm not a lawyer or insurance expert so you should consult professionals with regards to your state laws and local insurance policies to figure out how to cover yourself from a situation like this.I'm interested to hear if any of you have had to deal with something similar and also any suggestions you might have.

Talk to a lawyer.

See if you can work something out.If that doesnt work then you get lawyers involved.

But can anyone refer an investor-friendly lawyer to look over and alter contracts?

Talk to the lawyers.

I have a lawyer draft an agreement that spells out our interest in the house and what gets paid from the proceeds and to whom.

I spoke with a lawyer who quoted me at $5,000 to create legal documents for this sort of transaction.
