So they are financially misaligned on long-term performance (and I think this is why there are so many people who have had bad turnkey experiences) And, as someone who has done lots of rehabs directly myself, I have seen hundreds of ways that turnkey operator could take shortcuts (to the detriment of the investor but beneficial to their bottom line) which investor could never detect (or not until years later when it's too late).

In this case, your full payment for 7 years is a detectable tax expense?

It is a very strong smell, and was easily detectable throughout her 3/4 acre backyard.Smokers - either tobacco or marijuana - are NOT a protected class, therefore you can make rules regarding smoking in and around your property.

You can figure out the rest along the way.No lies detected......

Detectives responded and were granted a search warrant for the residence, officials say.Upon completion of the search, police reportedly found 1.7 million fentanyl pills, 110 pounds of methamphetamine, 7.5 pounds of cocaine, and numerous weapons were seized from the residence.

This makes it very easy to detect a difference.

LLC's take a bit more detective work than skip tracing an individual's contact info (which can be found with a simple google search) but yes, LLC's are traceable especially if you are not using a registered agent and your primary address is listed under the business formation documentation. 

If he is paying the taxes, there is a record of where that money comes from.There is supposed to be an agent for the LLC, so contact them.Now this may seem odd, but I've had it happen.I'd have a private detective run a search and see if he is in jail somewhere. 

The real question is how much this would skew the plotted data.Currently, I do split the market into the avg high, mid, and low $/sf segments over time, you can see the high-end (renovated/new) product shifts with the most magnitude (across almost every market not just 91324), but this does not represent absorption like you desire, only $/sf:To research your hypothesis, I would have to:1) Select a year's worth of transactions (ideally across a 10k+ transaction/year market to be representative, say Los Angeles)2) Manually review every transaction's photos, marking them 'Renovated/New' if it is, to segment this transaction data from the rest of the transactions3) Calculate & plot absorption of the 'Renovated/New', and compare it to the absorption of the rest of the transactions4) When overlaid atop one another, their slopes would reveal the impact you mention in your hypothesis #1     -If you are right, we would see the cheap houses slope increase heavily Q1-Q4, with the expensive houses slope decreasing Q1-Q4, and vice-versa.I've run comps thousands of times when underwriting (looking for high-end renovated homes to use as comps) and I have yet to detect such a phenomenon.

A leak detection plumber could not find the leak.
