Not surprisingly, they're making this into a giant drama.  12 texts and one email later...They're saying it's their legal right to come next week and see the damage with their own eyes, take their own photos, and get professionals to give cost estimates.

I've got a raft of big ones:the first was tying up a property as a sure thing, and less than a year later conditions changed and I was not able to extricate myself from that.The next was (real estate one) was not selling my residence in 2001-2002 as prices rose, and moving into my rental, to take advantage of tax benefits and having the ability to take my sale money, banking it, waiting for TODAY, to buy as prices are going down.

Also, I am not able to send a payment request.

@John Warren Unfortunately, I was not able to make that one but will definitely hop into the next meeting and see about making it out when you guys go back in person.

Tenant's are most often tenant's, because they don't have a giant pile of cash they are sitting on.
