I put my intentions out into the Universe and I'm taking action.

There are jurisdictions (parish to parish here) that have very different attitudes toward landlord vs tenant situations.There are reasons why LA is where it is on this list:http://www.instituteforlegalreform.com/statesYour tenants are immersed in advertising (billboard, TV, radio, etc.) to  pursue legal action in the event of any accident, injury or incident and with "hungry" attorneys everywhere you turn, you will have to defend yourself sooner or later.It sounds like your father-in-law is great for the role you want him to play.  

Imagine that if you have a time sensitive issue. - Many services integrate with other online accounting apps and tools. 

When it comes to security deposits, we do not refund any portion to the departing tenant and have them transfer any claim they may have to the deposit to the remaining tenant (here there is a specific government form for this very action).as part of the amendment.

Now it is all about taking massive action. 

It is also sandwiched between 2 of the most successful restaurants on the island; connecting the parking lots and charging the neighboring businesses for after hours use could bring more revenue.I'm trying to understand what a reasonable cap rate and market price for this property would be, re-assess the risks and understand actions to mitigate those risks, and potentially explore this one further given that a strike price hasn't been met yet.thanks again for everyone's input, and appreciate any additional Erik

Don't set goals for results.Set goals for the actions that you will take in order to achieve the desired results.Plan your work, work your plan but don't plan the results.

Your situation might require an attorney and foreclosure action. 

My next step is to take action.

Stay plugged in and then take action!
