You could rent a home for under $2,000 and save the extra money.

If you win, they will have to pay the extra expense of the filing fees, etc, on top of what you say your damages are (which would be the cost to hire someone else to complete the job).   

The next step would be small clams court.I would probably also announce the name of the company, as long as what you say is truthful you will have no problems, but you will save others from this type of problem with that property manager. 

So I had to stay in Bangkok an extra week to get the paper notarized.  

I make an extra $300/month after fees on Airbnb.

But I invest on the side with RE to make a little extra.

I have done 1 BRRRR thus far and I have learned that what you budget on the rehab add and extra 5 to 10k as a buffer.

https://flipsystem.com/They're essentially promising on helping you flip homes with 10-20k profit on each flip and will connect you to their entire team when it comes to flipping for out of state.I joined the program, please reach out to me personally if you want to know the truth from my personal experience. 

The other option, however, is that I can live more or less for free for the rest of the year between a few family members and friends and save that bit of extra cash towards the purchase.The extra cash could either help me jump on a deal sooner or it could be a buffer/money for potential renovation when I move in.

Doing this for a few years with honest effort will put alot of extra money in your pocket.
