As to the market in Fort myers: Nothing seems to be helping the "Price Recovery" so far, but this is SUMMER/FALL and there are few Refugees inbound at the moment.

i don't really think its worth it, i would however put as much pressure on the one person that you can. put the fear into them. they owe you money and signed a contract. make sure they are aware of that. you would however, know if you have any chance at recovery. every tenant is different....

 Not to mention it will blight neighborhoods into a state of near impossible recovery.

Just a suggestion cause I use it too, set up an account on Credit Karma so you can see what's damaging your credit so you can start the steps to recovery.

Plus I'd have to pay the depreciation recovery tax as well (although I'm not too worried about that).

Now that we're in recovery mode (or maybe a bubble), prices are back up to where they were previously and have even edged higher, and it definitely gets one thinking.In order to determine what to do, if anything, I would ask what your big picture strategy/vision looks like.

As someone who buys and invests in this market, I believe that the Jacksonville market, with its current dynamic environment, is set to offer a glimmer of hope with the economic recovery. 

pid=1585 Despite uncertainties amid Houston’s ongoing recovery from Hurricane Harvey, 2018 proved to be a record year for Houston home sales with 82,177 single-family homes sold versus 79,143 in 2017, the last record-setting year.

Hopefully we can make a small mark on the road to recovery with the project post Harvey.
