What harm have they suffered? 

Hey @Chris Allen, we've been exploring the assisted living space for a few years now, and our interest became a bit more personal when my mother-in-law suffered a massive stroke two years ago. 

It does not work for me (doesnt mean it wont for you).

And I'm worried my community will suffer because my local schools, police departments, fire departments, social services, road repair crews, graffiti abatement crews (this is LA, after all), adult education programs, job placement programs, etc., will receive less funding.So this tax abates my fears.

But again you wont need that in practice..

So in other words we wont be making much through the next year or two, and are eager to get an investment property going/ move out of of my moms.

He saves the other half.Only in the case he expresses he wont pay even buyers fee, the realtor should come to you to discuss the matter.At this point i would believe he IS paying as the realtor did not disclose that to you.

Dear LandlordBob DylanDear landlordPlease don't put a price on my soulMy burden is heavyMy dreams are beyond controlWhen that steamboat whistle blowsI'm gonna give you all I got to giveAnd I do hope you receive it wellDependin' on the way you feel that you liveDear landlordPlease heed these words that I speakI know you've suffered muchBut in this you are not so uniqueAll of us, at times, we might work too hardTo have it too fast and too muchAnd anyone can fill his life up with thingsHe can see but he just cannot touchDear landlordPlease don't dismiss my caseI'm not about to argueI'm not about to move to no other placeNow, each of us has his own special giftAnd you know this was meant to be trueAnd if you don't underestimate meI won't underestimate you

In reality probably wont buy another property until post election once things shake out.For more info the only debt we would have is our primary res/boat/1 rental property.

I have a tenant that moved into a small residential property of mine and even though we had rehabbed it, apparently we screwed up and didn’t get the proper permits pulled (honest mistake, whoops).Subsequently, the city determined the home shouldn’t have been occupied until we went through the permitting process again and therefore we asked the tenant to leave the premises indefinitely.After they left, we got a letter from an attorney the tenant retained demanding around $30k for pain and suffering, legal fees, moving costs, etc.I took the advice of my attorney and we went to court over it, as they literally wouldn’t settle, and at the time,it seemed like $30k for a house for a $800 a month house was highway robbery at best.This all started in 2017 believe it or not, and we are still no closer to having an actual day in court.
