I would say a complete loss is the most likely outcome.

Investors tend to look at comps to justify thier wanted outcome when there is a personal attachment to the subject.

As for this last option, have you tried implying this and what was the outcome?

Even lawyer’s don’t know the outcome before they walk into court.

YOU are in control of the outcome and the future of the relationship.

I'm curious to know if anyone has disputed the assessed value of a property such as this; and, what the outcome was.

Will B. what was the outcome on this?

Somewhere, someone has information that will lead to the front door of my new family day carehome located in an HOA neighborhood...wishful thinking, perhaps...but I choose to remain ever hopeful in acehieving this outcome!

Of course that is said without knowing a single thing about that investor except that they bought a house from some other company or paid a price for a house that they would not have paid.Not everyone has the same needs for investing in real estate or desired outcome and certainly not every investor has the same time/energy to put into real estate investing.

There may be much cheaper, quicker ways & sources to acheive your desired outcome.
