This ensures you have a clear picture of what repairs are needed and helps avoid surprises during the rehab.

I didn't understand why I could not get my money out of a free and clear asset. 

My question is can anyone point in the direction of someone who could represent me in this matter maybe a lawyer or attorney, or someone who knows the fire code and who can be clear and concise on what I need.

Was last year abnormal or you think the normMy guess is you will spend a lot more than $200k on an attorney with benefits etc. but if it cuts down in expenses it definitely is something I would consider and even if it costs a little more, having control with having someone in house does reduce unknown costs and risks. 

It will cut down on the fake accounts created to promote certain individuals, markets etc.

Thank you for the very thorough and clear thought process.

I should have been more clear...I actually have a BLOC with multiple properties securing the interest.

Signing at closing, it's a short-term lease, sec deposit is a full month's rent, and there is a clearly defined move-out date. 

It was clear there were some problems beyond being "tired". 

This then will leave the property free and clear.
