In all, we've doubled our net worth - upgraded from a 'Coach' retirement to a 'First Class' retirement. 

Picture this, your driving down the road and come to a 4-way stop, what do you do?

I want to pursue the case without legal help but I fear she might use my email to double down on harassment claims and go for appeal.Really down atm so please advise :)

When I had arrived I found out that this guy had one truck, his own personal vehicle that doubled as his work vehicle.. and some personal tools.

Keep digital records and pictures.  

take into consideration I am getting a decent deal, and this property could Easily be worth a 100+ a sq ft within 5 yearsproperty pictures belowhttps://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1072-Fm-126-Merkel-TX-79536/62562011_zpid/

  $200/month divides into the $100K initial negative equals 500 months to recover the initial negative equity.Let's double the cash flow to $400/month.  250 months to recover the initial negative equity so over 20 years.Let's reduce the negative equity position to $50K (which likely is less realistic than expecting $400/month cash flow at that rent point), you are at over 10 years to recover the initial equity position.Now let's do it with all cash, no financing.The 50% rule state $900/month cash flow.  900 * 12/200K = $5.4% or about half of lifetime return of S&P 500, or what can almost be achieved with a zero work, zero risk CD.I see no way that someone who understands the numbers will call this a good investment.Note just because an investment is better than most other investments in a market does not imply something is a good investment. 

A little more details, to help paint the picture.

They already cancelled many large complex deals or doubled their price for the past few years.
