This by-passes any claims of retaliation, discrimination, etc. 

Do you think your unlicenced, uninsured, amateur would have paid rent when the units could not be rented as an STR.Your "tenant", the person arbitraging, during COVID could potentially not pay claiming COVID impact (and they would not be lying as COVID reduced their STR income) and could potentially be protected from COVID anti-eviction moratoriums.Our market recently passed a STR quota. 

I have seller and buyer agreements sent to my title company, they told me I need to show evidence to extinguish about 4 interest on the property(which are quit claim)And a mutual release of my sellers previous purchase agreement which he doesn’t have nor remember.

Doing direct mail, SEO your website and a handful of other resources can get you deals.Wholesalers (or those who claim to be) are a dime a dozen, it took several years to get my inbox from receiving so many of them.

If you're not in a rush for the money Quit Claim Deed back into your name, let it season for 6 months then refinance with the better rates ...

However, you have a legitimate claim for 1/2 of the deposit since that is your actual losses.

@Matt Wells hope you don't mind me replying here but you can be added to title at any time. in most states you use a "warranty deed" or a "quit claim deed" to add (or subtract) people from the title/ownership of a home.  

Hopefully everyone had insurance and if you did you need to be very aggressive with filing and staying on top of your claims. 

There are certainly some people who are doing it well, with 200+ units 'automated' as they claim, but I truly don't know what payoff they're getting, or how handsoff it is.

We haven’t ever filed any insurance claims.
