Our market's pretty decent, yet I prepare myself mentally that it will take two months to fill a vacancy.Frankly, I can't imagine paying to list a rental on the MLS.

You aren't claiming that the lien is at face value doing what Mitch describes....the potential opposing attorney is doing that mental calculation all own their own.How is it illegal or unethical to protect yourself from frivolous suits?

For the sake of not making this an exhaustive list I will stop there.

So you have done the make ready on your vacant property, posted it all over the net, exhausted!

Are you "mentally" assigning the entire cost to the present or breaking it down over the life of the item?

Fighting this off like the horse & buggy industry did when the first cars were invented is the wrong mentality.

And I see it as a scorch the earth mentality for profit.

If a willing buyer and a willing seller agree on the price, and no one misrepresents that facts of the deal, and everyone is of sound mental capacity and not acting under duress, is that stealing even if the price is below what the Buyer can sell it for?
