Seeing as the tenant refuses to communicate with me in a civil manner, I'll have to pay the sheriff's department to deliver it.

The damage to your unit is a civil matter between you and the tenant i.e. not covered by your policy.

If you are on a budget, reach out to a senior civil/structural engineer in a nearby university for a second opinion. 

That is, if litigation is brought regarding one property, you want to limit the exposure faced by the rest of your portfolio.

If the police deemed they didn't have enough necessary for criminal charges, such as criminal threat, this is another route on the civil side.

Landlords in New York City who use illegal methods to force a tenant to move are also subject to both criminal and civil penalties.

If you are trying to shield untold amounts of wealth from creditors and potential litigation, then you want more anonymity and privacy in your entities.Keep in mind that any form of Trust can be judicially pierced (exposed) in it is found to shield any type of illegal activity, fraudulent setup or asset purchased with illegal funds.PS:Real Estate is typically titled in Trust (not a Trust account)

By then you have spent thousands over trying to collect a thousand.A great attorney would tell you this is going to cost more to litigate than it is worth.If both sides screwed up it sounds like the best thing is to split it 500/500 and walk away  and call it a day.

If anyone's local jurisdiction has specific issues, I'm sure they are advised of that upon consultation with a professional local to them.Again, this is intended to protect against litigation brought by those seeking to profit.

I plan on creating one but I had a conversation with my sister (she is a commercial litigation lawyer) and she said I should not create just one LLC for all my investment properties.
