If this does proceed to court, am I screwed? 

The suburbs have a number of good PM companies, but due to the low price points and rents, and the nightmare of dealing with the city and courts there, most of the good property managers in the general area won't touch Baltimore.

Both allege they were his common-law spouse.I am imagining this playing out like a live Jerry Springer episode, with probate court as the stage and legal claims as the punches.

“I do not agree that appreciation is a function of chance.Appreciation is driven by the imbalance of demand and supply.

There are likely attorney's who solicit this as a function of their business but that doesn't make them any better or worse than what you could do to strike a deal on your own.

There will most likely be other cryptos that serve other functions but I would be very surprised to see anyone take this over from bitcoin (not is anyone else really contending).

Still have to pay attorney and fight it through court. 

I guess for me the dividing line is does it damage the function or cause a safety hazard if I leave it on the tenant.  

Myself being born and raised in Silicon valley its always been about appreciation and was and is never about cash flow other than enough cash flow to keep the property functioning . some of my biggest hits have been on land deals and they dont cash flow you generally have to pay cash and hold and then pay tax's and maintain the land in some places..

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.
