I found this deal from Nextdoor (believe it or not, for once it was used NOT for losing a pet...).

If you have to go through some litigation or get sued, and your LLC is from out of state, the odds are stacked against you and you'll likely lose.

I don't know how people can get away with this but in my field of work, I would lose my license if I mess up this badly.

Unfortunately, here in CA the deck is stacked against us but eventually we will get them out it may take thousands and 6 months and in the process it will ruin their records, it’s a lose lose but how do you explain this to a person who is ignorant.

Once a landlord backs down from any ultimatum, they lose credibility.

At some point during this process they will realize they are going to lose and might ask for cash for keys, as long as that is still a cheaper option VS continuing the court case, come up with a number and go. 

If they aren’t and you don’t want to lower the price you could risk losing the sale and have to look for a new buyer which would increase your holding costs.

If I was losing cash flow on one deal I was going to pick it up at another.I bought a run down legal 2-unit for $392,000 and put 25% down and $50k into it.

Sure, it is nice to keep everything in perfect order, but you'll lose out as a landlord fixing this stuff.   

Would that roughly translate to me losing roughly 55% of that or $2750 when the property gets sold?
