Whether he can justify it at trial is another matter.Advice on responding: Engage the best lawyer you can afford to pay.

I think I'm setting the bar nice and low on this first trial.

@Jeff Mills You can do a trial period to see how it works out.

The other options are find someone with access to the MLS as tax records can be pulled through there or you can sign up for a Property Radar account (they offer a free trial).

A 203k is what I used on our personal home and let me tell you, it was a MISERABLE experience, but at the time, it was our only option as I had just started a new job and had to do a 90-day "trial" as a contractor.

The key thing here though, is they also requested a jury trial.
