I recently backed out of a potential investment and am trying to recover my earnest money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the last couple of years has been insane for appreciation.GL on the recovery!

For this you need a big shot attorney on contingency basis, at least, it gives them the motivation of 4M in lawsuite, at 50%, they MIGHT (and I seriously doubt it) take it.Second is, BP is a community that will help you, and you are here asking help, in order for the community to help, let us know the company name, right now, your chance is almost 0% chance of recovery, so if I were you, I would not worry and let others help me.

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

If a corporation is fragile then shorting it or pulling money accelerates its collapse and speeds up the recovery. 

Brought on by a global pandemic, the drop was sharp but the recovery was fierce.

Due to depreciation recovery. 

Get a judgment against the ex-tenant, or report the debt they owe to a collection agency/debt reporting service like Rent Recovery Service or AOA Debt Reporting Service. 

@Aaron Mazzrillo to further your thought process10% of the fisherman catch 80% of the fish.. and when it comes to a rock star flyfisherman that number goes way higher.10 to 20% of all Real estate agents in a given office will make 70 to 80% of all the revenue, I know this for a fact as I have owned 4 brokerages over the years.There are only a certain amount of pro athletes who make it to the majors in any sports out of the millions that try.and on and on.. its the same in Real estate some do fabulous some do OK some flame out.. all in the same market with the same opportunities.

Cost recovery only comes in the form of cash flow, so the faster your CF recovers your cost, the sooner your profit starts.
