What I tell people in DC is that you can win in court and still lose on the deal because of the time, costs, and frustrations associated with battle.

Once I got myself into a stance of trying to please someone who couldn't be pleased, it was a losing battle. 

They're noise nazis or plants on the balcony nazis or anti-rental nazis.I owned one for about 3 years and made a profit, but couldn't WAIT to get out from under the HOA, and yes, I even got on the board to try and add some experience/sanity to it, but it was a losing, insane battle. 

However, some battles are not worth the fight - this might be one of them. 

So I had some battle scars, but what doesn't kill you (quite literally) only makes you stronger, so I would not change it for anything even as I've divested and moved on to better neighborhoods.Here are just some off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more:- Consistently late rent.

The school of experience is where I've learned the most and unfortunately the bad times teach you way more than the good times, so pay attention and do not be afraid to share your lessons learned with others, they are your battle wounds and they make you stronger and better!!!...

Request the seller and his attorney hire a zoning attorney to battle with the city and obtain a variance to allow the plot to be legalised. 3.

Plus, he knows he's not likely to get paid for any lengthy legal battle. 

I really don’t want a major legal battle.

@Jonathan Twombly,It is always an uphill battle to collect once you are sued but if the LLC has proprieties in it; they can get what is in the LLC and sue you personal and get what you have, but it is up to the judge to make that decision.
