Man is basically greedy and selfish and you will never legislate that away.

In my case, it wasn't until I started finding hard money loan deals for my now long deceased loan broker mentor, did I discover in no uncertain terms, what the market was.

When someone posted the relevant SAFE ACT legislation for Texas that indicated any more than 5 seller financed deals per year was illegal, Mitch just disappeared (and hasn't posted here since).I don't know him and certainly I'm not commenting on his experience, expertise or business model.

I think the real risk is owning assets in sub par neighborhoods that has very little appreciation potential where you are uncertain if you can even unload the property.       

By investing in a DST with a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of85%, the investor would only need to invest $750,000 in the DST to replace their $4,250,000 of debt,thus allowing them to become an all-cash buyer in the real estate market.Presenting DSTs for Uncertain ProspectsMany older real estate investors may find themselves in a situation where they no longer desire theresponsibilities associated with being a landlord, yet they are reliant on the income generated fromtheir property.

Future tax rates and laws are uncertain, so the prospect of getting slammed with taxes in retirement is not ideal.

Also if these companies become legislated against they will find a way to get around it.I hope i'm wrong though.

Once again, Denver is a great market irrespective of the new legislation, but the new law did have some impact.

hi nicholas. it sounds like you have what is called a " zombie" house. banks sometimes just sit on houses. years ago, the feds were concerned with so many of the foreclosure houses hitting the market and causing a huge downturn in the market. so, they passed legislation limiting the amount of houses banks could put out on the market. as a result, banks tend to put the higher dollar houses out there to sell to recoup as much of their money as they can. who wouldn't?

I've lived in PR for about a year now and have act 22 and have almost received act 20 (was waiting for updated employee requirement legislation).
