The ownership environment is changing, especially with incoming political actors, and long term hold expectations may be upended with radical shifts in protections for property owners

There are bad actors with disregard for the law, disrespect for tenants and who use discriminatory practices.

If you have ever been to a MLM presentation it will remind you of those.. they have professional speakers these are not investors many times they are hired actors literally.. they will show pictures of their family which may or may not be their real family .. they will tell the reason they are there is for the family.. then its pictures of the kids .. and don't you want to do this so you can spend more time with your kids.. don't you want to get out of the rut all those things.if you have been to a 5 links presentation or a ACN or Amway its all spawned from those .

If this is not the case then the RV could not legally be used as an STR.If you are in the city of San Diego, the city has passed STR quotas that give preference to existing good actors (those that have been paying the required taxes and do not have excess complaints). 

Then you're even more in the hole and unless you're sitting on a pile of cash, I'd say it's not worth the risk unless you can actually prove the seller did something overtly malicious.

Hmm, well that was a typical upsell seminar format, even including actors! 

They get rich, screw up the courts, rub elbows with other big players, scheme even more and write more laws which gets them richer.In this case, these bad actors who are using other Landlord's apts to get rich are creating HUGE problems for themselves and the LANDLORD.We can get caught up and have to spend money on attorneys to defend ourselves because we will be named in the Law Suit by NYC as if we were accomplishes.

It is not an act carried out after the act or investment has been made. 

Often times, especially for mortgages that exceed the GSE standards, some other actor on the secondary market is willing to pay top dollar.

The truth is in any industry we have bad actors and wholesaling is one that gives a person the opportunity to be dishonest or they are ignorant.
