and do you know if they came back to the states.. that will be a HUGE win for anyone who is litigating against them .. at least right up until they file BK.

Hello everyone,I’m a 18 year old electrical apprentice and I’m looking to do a full dive into real estate investing.I am in the union and earning base wage, parking, vacation pay, pension and full benefits are covered.I am saving about 400/w in a high interest savings account right now which is 60% of my pay, I am going to get guaranteed $5/h raises every year for the next 5 years.
