"My" felon was a nice guy; his supervisors at work spoke so highly of him they provided him with furniture, pots and pans, silverware, even a TV for the rental as he had none of these when he moved in. 

@Mark WhittedThe IRA is a whole new world to explore with many options and long awaited pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Will this "trial" be just as informal and will we just stand at the bench and not sit at the tables like in Law and Order?

You need a pot of money to pay the claim if you lose and to defend it either way.

Looks like I really stirred the pot when I mentioned the three tiered membership program and the costs associated with the highest tier.

Unfortunately they left a mess (which was forgivable) but they deliberately destroyed our pots and pans by using a screw to scratch the bottoms of the pots.  

Here we are days later, closing 10/12 and they have yet to provide us with the info for the GC and to better sweeten the pot, our hard money lender came back with a valuation almost $100k less than our est ARV which screws up our financing. 

The laws of supply and demand will eventually drive the price of pot down, making it far less profitable than it is now, meaning a store will have to sell a lot more. 

Nothing too bad just a broken coffee pot and lots of beer bottles left behind. 

This way you can set bench marks (I want a 20% ROI) and better decide when to sell and when not to.
