My friended up lowering his rent so the tenants would move, maybe an idle threat, maybe not. 

Both visiting scholars and vacationers disappeared in 2020 and there was a glut of furnished listings.

Its just too big a threat.

Don’t want it to sound like a threat of some “finger wagging” or “slap on the wrist”

Only going to continue to get worse with the digitization of things like notaries, etc.Pace + his team recently organized a Zoom meeting with the Attorney Generals of Utah and California where they discussed some of the new big scams in the world of real estate...One of the biggest things they are seeing is people falsifying ownership of raw land and listing on MLS for big discounts WITH RE AGENTS and then selling as if they own the land.Title closes, money is transferred, then the cash disappears into offshore accounts.

If the guy disappears, remove him from the lease and make it clear that the remaining tenant is fully responsible.

That threat alone may prompt them to cooperate and get things back on track here.

Then the buyer wired their earnest money to the fake title company, and the money disappeared along with the scammer, and the whole deal blew up and turned into a circular firing squad. 

Just knock on wood we can build this way without the threats and worry of rampant thievery.

what I saw happen personally was a revolt. instead of cash call to the original GP they used that cash to hire attorney and boot the GPs out with threats of bad things to happen to them.. a couple of the LPS stepped into the GP roll with the attorney guiding them and well folks then put more money in and the projects were ultimately lost a few years later.
