@William Thorn just happened to me 10 days ago, 3 days before I was ready to close on a piece of apartment land the neighbor filed a lis pendes and law suit claiming adverse possession rights.

A properly set-up DST will both protect your assets and bypass the burdensome franchise tax that would be levied against a Series LLC.The Delaware Act expressly provides that “[n]o creditor of the beneficial owner shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the statutory trust.” 12 Del.

They can at least see your possession date on your HUD and know you did not accrue the 6 years of dues since you've only owned the property for a year.

I generally have possession of the property terminate at or before noon for the outgoing tenant and begin around 4 or 5pm for the incoming tenant.

Unfortunately, there would be no way for them to get permit for addition or pool with that in place, so they chose another property rather than tracking down owner or dealing with adverse possession in 1.5 years when it meets the state time period. 

When we took possession of the houses, each time our taxes tripled because we weren't over 65. 

Review it careful and make sure you aren't agree to something outlandish like possession days after closing or $1,000 non refundable EMD, etc...

I have eviction by a court order, judgement of possession, but the sheriff is busy for 6 weeks.

If so, I think you can take possession of the unit and throw out whatever they left. 

Government Hill is probably my favorite area of San Antonio due to proximity to downtown attractions and the charm most of the properties possess.
