We placed room divider with a tension rod in the living room, after half a month it fell onto the sprinkler head, the floor got damaged.

That created a massive tension between the GC and the owners.

This could cause tension and a dispute as to who is due the commission as the current agent would not be the one to show you the house therefore they are not the procuring cause of the sale.

It's hard to unlearn muscle memory built up over many years of use, and I can see you've been here some years.

Tension rises and everyone becomes quiet as she informs us in a solemn voice of the atrocities these investors have been committing, outright STEALING homes from people who are down on their luck.

You are right that some investors would rather use the muscle of money rather than more resourceful strategies.

And don't be afraid to exercise that "no" muscle. 

We can then strategically decide where to redeploy sales proceeds without the 45/180 day timelines required under the 1031 rules.We also invest in real estate outside of our Roth IRAs and enjoy the traditional tax benefits and then struggle with the tension between "hold unto death" or sell and 1031 the proceeds.Bottom line is we are investing in real estate both inside and outside of our Roth IRAs. 

Tensions are high right now.
