If N is merely claiming $200, better to just pay or offer half and ask him to notify you *before* there is damage.Or pay a lawyer to defend a nuisance suit for damages...

I would certainly feel strongly defending such a case in an IRS audit.

Who is defending my best interest when it comes to those issues ?

- tenant paint job photos:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/535...When I used the word "high" to describe the quality of the paint job, I was referring to the state of inebriation of the tenant painter :)Reading that entire thread is a good learning activity; my initial comments on that thread start on page 4, and the person I was attempting to educate posted after that to defend allowing tenants to paint!

If it is the type of thing covered by insurance then your insurance company will hire the lawyer to defend you should the homeowners pursue it.

This can be plaintiff or defendant in business disputes (partnership breakups), consumer DTPA claims, breach of contract, specific performance, probate (title issues), adverse possession/trespass to try title (quiet title actions for breaks in the chain of title), or suit for declaratory judgement (interpreting a contract or boundary).I am admitted to all TX state courts, and the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas. 

In conclusion the 1% of Americans who defend this country are some of the best renters I have ever worked with and many of you would be VERY well off if you had the opportunity too. 

I think you're ready to purchase a tax-deed the major down-fall is that too many foreign investors and small capital groups come in and buy the best properties near or above market value....There's a bunch of posts on tax-deeds its just you have to spend sometime  learning how to title examine (this is a key skill you will have to learn).1/2) These properties are being "foreclosed" by the local government - in general its state specific for instance in FL it is true they can be redeemed until the second before sale however after you're pretty much done for (however if its a valuable property and any of the previous owners in the chain of title have a bit of cash to throw around you'll be forced to defend yourself in court which can be pretty expensive).

Then it's hard for the defendant to claim that they didn't receive ANY of them.But purely sending an email is not "better" proof anywhere else other than in your head.
