I am first in line to defend the suburbs of Detroit.You out of area people are clueless. 

We intend to form an alliance to fight for and defend our property rights.

I've always been an advocate for double closings, and will defend them as being legal to the end.

.); and, even if CA common law recognizes Promissory Estoppel - it all still comes back to - how much are you willing to spend to get that $1k back.There are 2 legal requirements to "win" a lawsuit, and there is another purely practical requirement to "win" a lawsuit:1) Legal Requirement - someone performed, or failed to perform, an act - and the performance, or failure to perform, such act allows you to sue that person;2) Legal Requirement - The act, or failure to act, caused you damages that can be compensated; and,3) Practical Requirement - the defendant actually has the means to pay the judgement, and taking into account the cost to get the judgment and collect the judgment, the amount of the judgment is worth the expense....You will have 1 & 2 if the seller cannot deliver marketable title, but you will not have 3.

The plaintiff was an apartment property manager and the defendant challenged multiple points, including the late fee that was calculated to be in excess of state law.

But I wouldn't want to defend myself to anyone about paying those fees to unaware "helpers" when you should know how to operate ethically and legally because you're in the business.

The asking price is significantly overpriced (priced off stabilized/proforma numbers), so I want to be able to rationally/credibly defend my valuation and potential offer price.

(As the purchaser, you should get a notice from the county.)The property owner (defendant) can sell the rights anytime before the redemption time-period is up.

I will happily defend that offer.

Apart from reading/verifying the defendants named on the the general judgement filed with the courts and recorded with the county, is there more investigating I should be doing to verify the defendants listed on the judgement were properly served?
