At that point you spend way more in litigation cleaning up the mess then doing it right to start with.

I currently live in Southern Maine and work as a civil engineer.

California Civil Code of Procedure 1161.2 outlines what I said above.  60 days after the unlawful detainer filing, the information becomes public information in the court index.  

One instructor, who is an attorney, advised multiple LLCs, as every individual LLC's assets can be "shared" through losing litigation.

I saw a few cases swing due to litigants not knowing how to control their emotions.

As any highly sought after expert would.You can also hire a consultant to put all the information together for you, and even assist in insuring you have the proper paperwork and protections against litigation should there be an issue arise.I am also an investor, I was a G.C. for 20yrs in Houston, accredited inspector, Consultant for billion dollar REIT's.

The eviction report case type is Civil New Filing.

I htink contracts are not worth the paper they are written on, in this case, if you cannot trust the person completelyl Would you want to be caught up in litigation chasing your money , even with a contract in place? 

There are kinds of down payment assistance programs in many different parts of California I read  in LA that provided up to $80k in funding i just got an email about a $10k teachers assistance program in NV .USDA loans 100's of programs across country for civil workers farmers etc The Hud lottery program for teachers,police etc another example Any little bit of assistance can accelerate the home buying timeline for those in need.

I think many, if not most, use the civil statute and not the criminal one anyway, so I don't see it as a big deal.
