Don't be surprised if the fee disappears.  

The income tax disappearing is already happening. 

It has to be renewed annually which has been a pain.

If you don't want to long-distance landlord and find it to be a pain, then sell it, 1031 exchange it or owner finance, like you mentioned.

What if something disappears?

Losing $50k through this is not ideal, but I’m fortunate that it is not a painful sum to lose.What I am seeking is advice on how to leave evidence in the public record that could be found by future landlords and limited partners vetting the GP, who’s seeking $8M total / $250k each from accredited investors per facility as he seems to have a plan to move around the country opening facilities.A $57k bill could be a devastating to many landlords, and I want to help prevent them from experiencing a similar situation. 

Our pain points: 1.

They took the information and disappeared or claimed they did not use it.What is your advice for establishing a trusting wholesale working relationship?

The past year, I've learned market tenants in sub 100k regions are a pain in the ***.

@Don KonipolI actually laughed out loud at your comment about the seller being 'compensated' $100 when a buyer exercises their option to withdraw—it’s such a painfully accurate observation.
