It took a lot of planning and commitment, but in one month I will be selling all five homes to start building my first apartment complex with Reunion Investments and purchase my dream home.

Yes, you could go to small claims court... fight it all... hire a lawyer... blah blah blah... but that will cost you more than a $1,000 and would be to help your ego and not based on a financially wise decision. 

I wouldn't at this point personally, extra complexity.  

Are you buying a rental or two, building a portfolio, or doing complex stuff like cost segregations and 1031s?

I am considering a 4-unit apartment complex in east Oakland.

However, I have no experience in small single/multi family real estate investment since most of the deal I've gone through are hundred-unit apartment complex.

Hi,Asking what is a better investment;Single-family Rental VS. small Apartment Complex

Your attorney could give you an estimate of the cost and complexity of doing that.

As a Maryland realtor we have a Maryland residential lease which is pretty decent and holds up well in court.

I feel like I am going to end up having to go to court over this and want to get my ducks lined up.
