I just answered your post with my opinion.It was not an attack against you.all I can say is WOW!!

Imagine how fast investors attack a deal ...

"No check issued".) 2: Would it behoove me to achieve my write offs this year (the year I need them) and quitclaim the deed from my LLC. to myself, converting it into a primary residence down the road (adjusting my basis with the improvements and repairs) and only allowing potential litigation to attack my free and clear title for this short period of renovations vs. the life of our occupancy at the property? 

I have seen residential investors after 20 years or 30 years doing it and the deep lines on their face,stress, and many have had a heart attack or stroke.

He could have also attacked me or killed me, so looking back it wasn't the best idea.Any time illegal activity is involved it is best to post notices on the door and avoid confrontation.

Then I picture them falling over dead from a heart attack.

this is clearly the fun/storage wars/small-time heist option.i also emailed first alert, the manufacturer, and they told me that if i send them a notarized statement of ownership ($15 for notary) that they'll email me the combination. this way i'll end up with a $120 not-so-safe of my own. i could sell it and make a few bucks or keep it long enough to forget it in a property at which point one of you fine people will buy the place and exercise option 1: attack it with a crowbar. plan is to open it up on sunday. i'll post what i find.

So, identify your business plan so you can attack it better and with a proper laser focus. 

Our friends who is an RE agent was attacked years ago, and she said her RE agency started offering training classes for agents.Its an option if you feel comfortable with it and live in a place where its legal, which you do.

@Mackal Smith this is a brilliantly elegant plan to attack your daughter's student loan debt!
