When it got to the 2-hour point, I had a rather unpleasant encounter with the wife (the husband and a son were out in nature somewhere, which is why they hadn't left).

On the other hand, if someone loses $1MM, there would likely be more dialog between the crowdfunder and investor, and unpleasant dialog to say the least.If the model is to target smaller investments, it might be reasonable to assume that the total capital raise in any one investment would be relatively small, which translates to fee income to the crowdfunder that doesn't justify on-site due diligence.  

I don't trust tenants, especially in that area, to not flush unwanted items down the toilets. 

First, I wanted to let you know that we've banned the member urcinus for unwanted solicitation to other members on our site via PM .

urcinus - amongst other things used our PM functionality to pose unwanted solicitations to our members.

In my area, I have basically seen odd vacant land parcels where you cannot build anything, mobile homes, and other properties that are truly "unwanted leftovers".

First you spread a plastic throw away sheet down, blast it off unwanted surfaces,,letting the dry ice drag it down to floor plastic,,,, let dry ice evaporate,,,carefully wrap plastic to center and toss,,,protective gear should always be used. dry ice is hard on the skin so dont contact,,,cover up.

LESSOR/LANDLORD strongly recommends that LESSEE/TENANT purchase at LESSEE/TENANT’S expense an insurance policy commonly known as a “Renter’s Insurance Policy” on behalf of and to help protect any of the LESSEE/TENANT’S furnishings or possessions from theft, damage, or any other unwanted occurrence.It is also hereby agreed that after departure from premises, the LESSOR/LANDLORD is not responsible for any LESSEE/TENANT’S possessions, and LESSEE/TENANT waives claim for damages suffered.LESSEE/TENANT also agrees not to remove or attempt to remove any personal property on the premises while there remains unpaid any portion of the rent, whether due or to become due; but if any attempt is made to remove any of the personal property referred to, the LESSOR/LANDLORD shall be authorized and empowered to seize and retain such property until he is fully paid for such rent as is or shall become due under the terms of this lease.

Whether the lender or insurer actually follow-on and "catch" you is another matter, but the possibility of unpleasant consequences is there.Another thing to consider is that you may only hold a single CMHC insured high-ration residential mortgage at a time.  

The cash-out refinancing depends entirely on the appraisal evaluation, which is also an unpleasant variable.
