I'm not sure exactly how legal that is, consult an attorney, but I never had any problem getting rid of someone within 7 days, and I never had anyone attempt to challenge me on it.10.

Challenges?

In areas like South DFW, challenges like limited inventory and high prices require creative approaches such as off-market deals, foreclosures, or properties needing updates.

@Shawn NofzigerHi Shawn,I came across your post and while I am a long way from Lansing, I work with a ton of new and aspiring investors and the challenges they have getting from idea to action. 

Our current economic conditions are challenging for cash flow in most markets, but I wouldn't let that stop me from diving in. 

Or, the trust (with trustee other than yourself) owns the property with LLC as beneficiary.Costs: LLC registration, annual secretary of state fees, agent for service fees, bookkeeping fees, tax prep fees, attorney fees to unravel structure mistakes, others I can't think of.Also, there are challenges getting title insurance, property insurance and loans for a trust.This is a way to get your name out of public record, no comment on whether it's good or bad. 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

That's the challenge with doing a 1031 with multiple properties.

Challenge is that I have an exclusive agreement with the seller because they wanted to list it, but changed their mind.  

I'm not sure if you're in the flatter northern half of the State or the hilly south half and/or if a berm could be built in the backyard or who, if anyone, has a yard that joins yours.The challenge of course, if finding the right person.
