You need a local real estate lawyer to help you deal with this mess(literally).You need to be sure of what your rights and their tenants rights are before you make a move against them.

Even though it was literally just a small fire contained in the oven, damage cost of $20k, (restoration scam is a topic for another thread).But if tenant doesn't have that, your insurance company will squarely look at you to foot the bill, for a "small accident"

I literally have had higher offers from lawyer/brokers that I turned down just to avoid them because they refused to use accepted realtor forms used countywide.

One was literally handcuffed and taken to jail.  

Allows short term rentals...but literally on the water for $140K (priced too high, of course).  

. :-) Fair response...I know you know...but I'm also sure you know, some (Not you) take such a literal translation of the root etymological definition of a word and run with it.

You can literally find deals anywhere.  

Just wanted to quickly share my story and hopefully inspire some people :)Literally 13 months ago, I had 0 interest or education about real estate.

I literally have a friend who bought 56 apartment in Phoenix, renting $550 with utility paid for by him (landlord)....

Obviously.Transpose that into real estate with the dividend being the rent and the solid stock being a good location with a - literally - solid building.
