Even with a judgement you would be fighting an uphill battle, unless the tenant's wages could be garnished.Sorry you are caught in this situation.

By way of example, I am 8 months pregnant, battling bronchitis and just had a fire and shooting at one of my rehabs, and had the budget come in 1mm over estimate (yes this is the last four days!)

Or am I going to have endless battles with CPA’s as I expand my bookkeeping practice?

@Brandon Battle that's not the complete story.  

So if you're thinking of trying to buy these I think it would very much be an uphill battle in Texas....years ago there were some people who would track the sales and then go buy redemption rights...but that seems to have ended for the most part due to law changes.   

I have a friend of mine in the middle of a court battle because he was late drumming up the security deposit for a tenant.  

So while you are fighting the battle to get your money.

I find there are too many hardened battles on this website where people take their approach as the only approach.  

Your chances are very slim to win a battle with a 10-day inspection contingency.

(It's always good to keep one's battle skills sharp)
