They do not have to go to court to obtain a judgement if they are filing a mechanics lien which is what it sounds like you are describing.

If you have a non-paying tenant and have to evict, or any minor mechanical issue that requires a plumber or an electrician, or a capex issue like a driveway, sewer line, roof, windows, doors, siding, appliances, etc... you're in the hole big time on this property.

Newer roof, good siding, and newer mechanicals.

Neighboring houses on the same street had completely different layouts, different mechanical systems, and differing degrees of functional obsolescence.

Ours was weak and unprofessional, lacking essential elements such as an arbitration clause, dispute resolution mechanisms, and clearly defined communication methods.

I was in the Army two days after high school graduation to deal with the fall of Yugoslavia, then became a postal carrier, a baker in a doughnut shop, a coffee distributor, a motorcycle mechanic, and the list goes on.

I am not confident in my estimates (mostly for the parts that I am unfamiliar with, ie mechanicals).

All the major mechanicals were clean and up to date, the big ticket item was replacing the roof!

Allows for keeping rooftop mechanicals.

(Kinda like mechanics charge more for you to watch and help haha)Chapter 14 IEBC is key.
