BofA was not able to recuperate my money.

The borrower can then legally sell the collateral in order to recuperate their money that was lent.

Statistically, I would bet that many of these properties could be at risk from a similar event before the reconstruction could even be completed.What is the new premium on a $5-10-20M insurance policy and how could it ever be recuperated during the life of the policy or length of the average 30 year loan? 

I would recommend seeing the eviction through to completion and using it as leverage to recuperate as much from the tenant as possible. 

More importantly, we don't think we have it in us to continue the legal dance months or years longer, knowing how California courts would never let us garnish these people's wages and recuperate the $34,000 in unpaid/forgone rent (for past 13 months), as they don't work at all.

They are MUCH more responsive and even managed to recuperate most of the owed rent via landlord/tenant assistance programs.

I will refinance when the rates drop and recuperate some of my investment funds with better cash flow.

All I have so far is a money judgment from the courts in an effort to recuperate some of the money through wage garnishment.

To give you some perspective on what those tax increases can look like here are some examples of the changes based on some of my properties that I own in the city:$4096 -> $5522 (+1426)$3850 -> $5516 (+1666)$3835 -> $6283 (+2448)These are only some examples, but all of the properties that I own have increased in its tax assessed value, therefore drastically increasing the taxes per year and decreasing annual cash flow.While tax assessments are normal it seems that this is a very drastic effort to recuperate losses.
