@Ben I.I am not a lawyer but as an associate real estate broker I wouldn't think that the seller can legally sell their home if there is a lawsuit in motion.

But since when does hope dictate an outcome of events already in motion?

With that being said, I still have video cameras and motion sensor lights on every door.

It's all about the financing/laws, the single family moves in a slow motion wave whereas other things can be changed overnight.  

Thank you for your service as well.I agree with Brandon, that it seems like you have a solid plan set in motion.

Hopefully that's well behind you...I've long said that it will take big money lobbyists (likely from the air travel industry) to push into motion some type of regulation on ESAs, Service Animals and the likes.Hopefully this is just the beginning of the process of getting these animals on a registry with a proper license that can be verified by anyone.I've raised two German Shepherd Guide Dogs through the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation and have watched a shift in our culture around ESAs and Service Dogs over the last 2.5 years.

Run the numbers and read all you can on the financial side and make sure the numbers work for you...Also, keep in mind:The rents can creep up over time Your property generally appreciates over timeYour debt decreases (as the tenant pays off the mortgage)And if you get a decent property and manage it well, you can keep costs in check.So you see the slow motion magic formula at work--rents going up, property value going up and debt going down....Maybe let's get in the DeLorean and time travel--set the dial for ten years ahead Doc!

Do I have to go through the motions?

You could also request a  motion for discovery to help you in the execution of any levy allowed by the court.

There is a plan for cameras 👍🏼 and there already is a motion sensor light that turns on, but it hasn’t deterred the activity...I want the behaviors to stop...and quite frankly there to be no narcotics on my property.
