The LLC is nice; but it will hurt with funding later, especially if you are doing a BRRR method.

Since texting isn't likely a required method of communication outlined in the lease, I'd just block his texts at this point.Its definitely time for an attorney, and I'd recommend using someone who is a heavy-hitter as a landlord advocate so that any silly half-baked attorney this guy hires will get the idea that you mean business and know what they are up against.

if not, I will try a different method to post them.

Be methodical and detailed.

Currently our 401ks are handled by fidelity I've been trying to find a way to, withdraw this money for real estate.
