I researched some eviction attorneys and property management companies who offer 'problem tenant' services so most likely will reach out to them.

@Jae Yoo you should read your PM contract very thoroughly or even hire an attorney to do so, before thinking you can just break it.How would you feel if a tenant just broke their lease with you?

I would be hiring an attorney to be first in line for any distributions that do come as it's literally first come first serve for people that file suits and obtain judgement first.

Consult a good real estate attorney.

We too had a contract for a SFR in Ocala and are now out our deposit as well as attorney fees.

Also do not take documents off the internet, get an attorney to draft documents for you and also always close with a title company. 

For example, you can prepay for your marketing, your entire office rent for next year, your insurance premiums, your property taxes, your attorney's and accountant's fees, and so on.

VRBO is completely uncooperative in this.I am contemplating just turning each of these over to an attorney, sue for the chargeback plus legal fees, and let it go.

Some rental-property owners who never needed an attorney may soon have a landlord lawyer on speed-dial.

You really don't need any up front cash other than having an attorney review your contracts
