Our first was a 4 month contract that extended to 9.  

It's usually around the holidays and it usually only extends the landlord's agony.

Assuming that the tree does not have a lot of branches extending over structures then I would estimate the job at around 500-750.

You could also extend that 70% rule as most investors will still buy at 72% as an example.

You can sell either property but a lender isn't going to release collateral to put themselves in a higher risk position, so the release fee here would be at least 50K, more likely 60K, reducing their remaining exposure while allowing the borrower some room to profit or retain cash.Doing these the borrower needs to have a specific release fee described or some method of assigning a value, such as 50% LTV.

A title co. can't release an EM without all parties signing a release for it, you'd have to sue/settle.Did your sales contract mention the sale being contingent upon you acquiring title?

Then we went to court on his behalf and spoke to the judge for his release. 

This is a short sale that is contingent on the lien release.2.

I see no benefits of redoing anything.Legally, I don't know the ramifications of kicking him off the lease without him signing some sort of release.

They have a GREAT insurance, and you can keep extending their stay.
