But the only real defense in front of the appraisal board is that their appraised value is too high versus actual sales data. 

A good plaintiff's lawyer would make mincemeat of the "Oh I didn't know there was lead" defense. 

I still believe though it will be perhaps tough to improve values with only PM implementing business plans and maybe 1x a month conference calls for AM.   

You can also join NARPM and discuss selling your business at conferences.

With DC you email your question and than have to wait for the conference call twice a month to get an answer.

You never know if there's a wedding, funeral, family reunion, conference, event, etc. that people come to town for and need a place to stay.

I would recommend first, greatly strengthen your David Green's defense pillar, meaning, live a very very lean lifestyle, every expense has to be a very conscious decision. 

@Thea Jenkins I've been wanting to set up a zoom conference call to talk about experiences and share insight in the investments we are all doing in the greater Huntsville area.Do you think this Friday or following Monday would be better?

@Nicky ReaderI would be more worried about a tenant suing me after a robbery or other rape for depriving him from his mean of self defense....

Go to real estate meetings, real estate conferences.
