Incorporation and asset protection is a legal matter, best discussed with a *local* attorney with familiarity in real estate investment.

I know she's not local for you but with email, text, skips ect it doesn't really matter where you live.

Another person considers taking someone's security deposit not to actually use it for repairs, just on a matter of their own individual morals, as a way of teaching them a lesson.I know who I'd rather do business with.Anyways, hope OP doesn't end up in court due to a lawsuit over this, or in court over mishandling the marijuana that they possessed after their tenant left.

I would like to speak with an attorney that would be willing to take the matter on contingency and determine if there is some action that can be taken on behalf of me and the other homeowners experiencing this problem to resolve these issues.Thank you.

I have a lengthy Legal Opinion, from my seasoned Legal Team regarding this matter.

-Important tax/legal matters?

This would be something that would happen most likely no matter who did the snaking.

Each unit has its own carport with a closing gate, Comparables in the area or santa ana for that matter are going for 875 + ( same sq ft and rooms & baths ) 

If they are asking 60,000 a lower price is a given it is simply a matter of how low.

Does it matter, when to talk about numbers?
