Also note, I did look into rate and term as well as a cash out refi to put some of the equity to use and/or enable the unit to cash flow and reduce the interest rate but ultimately the current state of Seattle, their rent freezes and anti-small landlord doctrines forced my hand.Question (finally...I apologize):  Is it possible to 1031 gains from a sold property into an interest in a syndication if you're a passive investor and not the sponsor? 

I don't care if the landlord is a total slumlord; at worst, the rent should be paid directly to the court, who releases it when anti-slumlord conditions are met.

I honestly get an instant anti-boner when a lead comes from an other investor.

The NAHB in 'Solving the Lumber Crisis' suggests that current administration scale back the anti free-trade policies, specifically the import tariffs (2017 tariff was 24%) on lumber from Canada. 

I like warm belt states for long term growth way, way better than cold belt states.You have an anti-business political state, high urban core concentration for New York, and a cold belt state that is a triple Whammy.Right now suburbs are booming in warm belt states.

It is assumed by the state that any rental larger than a 1 bedroom will fall into this category at some point because of the anti-discrimination laws that prevent landlords from refusing a family because they have a child.

Doesn't say what state you are in.Is the restaurant located in a pro business state or anti-business?

Especially with a number of people trying to leave LA, don't let the cliché anti-California market rhetoric turn you away.

@George Philbrook best product I have found is Anti Icky Poo which you can find on amazon.

Your tenants can probably stay there for another year without paying you a penny.I hope I’m wrong for your sake, but you should plan for this scenario.I would never own rentals in an anti-landlord state like California
