You want particular people that value quality, they usually take better care of your asset, stay longer and have better jobs, and mental health.

Maybe your attorney can send a demand letter to your GC to see if you can scare him into getting you some of that money back...I wouldn't do more then that couple hundred dollar legal letter to the GC and chalk it up to be a lesson learned.I have also seen other people in your position blow it off all together and do nothing if they intend on owning it for a long time and have no intention to refinance the debt.  

Ive been considering going into becoming a real estate agent for the past couple of months, but I want to move to the Tennessee area to do it, but since I don't know anyone there, nor have I done it before, I'm a bit scared to plunge into it.

Like in Massachusetts they just passed a bill that says you can't evict your tenant unless they are a danger to neighbors or causing some kind of health issue.

My problem, though, is that I'm scared that I won't be able to find roommates or tenants and will be left paying the mortgage out of my own pocket rather than my tenants' pockets.

I guess I'll cross them off my list ;-) Anything about your job/historic home that you think scared them off?

Thanks BP community for all your help and I wish you all health and happiness during these times.

My uncle has given me his car, for health reasons he can't enjoy it like he use to.

There is of course no point in talking about this (or 50 other things) until all that stuff is in-hand so you know what you're working with, you're just going to scare client away, or scare them into making a post on BP (ahem). 

We usually host it at a local restaurant but due to the health concerns presented by the coronavirus, we have decided to host in via Zoom.
