I was hoping I could have her sign a quitclaim deed to release her title claim, and then I'd just assume full financial responsibility from that point.  

(unless Govt tenant ) to be released each month as the tenant pays .

With your release and a sincere apology from the judge?

It was the best available in the entire market, so it was a good investment.Fast forward 2 months and the exact same house by the exact same builder was released for $490k and my clients had to bid out 30 (!)

Since it's now been deemed safe, do you think it's still worth having future tenants sign a waiver and release just in case there is any incident within the parking structure, or, since it's been deemed safe, should we just not worry about it?

Your friend would send the funds to the agent, when the docs are signed, the funds are released to your LLC, or whatever entity is taking the Note. 

Lots of rentals on the market right now in DFW, so you don't want them moving.  1-2-3 months of vacancy, releasing fees, and make ready are very tough to make up, so best to keep your current tenants.A couple of strategies you can try...#1. 

Looking forward to the release of the 2nd edition of your Estimating book. 

Also discuss with the contractor the time expected for the project if its small, mid or large and if it needs permits and how long would it take for permitting and all, also payment terms, make sure you go with payment terms that are fair to you and the contractor (so many terms but most common is monthly based on completed work with an upfront for materials) and ALWAYS keep the last payment until project is closed (retainage) and you do your walkthrough and if there's any issues you write them down and provide the contractor with (punch list to release the retainer once they're corrected or fixed). read about how to deal with contractors and always ask for references but it really depends on how big the job is, personally I wouldn't spend too much time doing due diligence on small jobs such as door latches or shelving rather on additions, layout change and other scopes.Good luck!

Since we aren’t selling, do we still need a partial release?
