No calling or emailing anyone.I have also used and really liked APIAJust keep in mind on vacant insurance you are covering catastrophic loss and liability not necessarily minor things like the furnace getting stolen.

Sounds like this guy never intended to rent to you and has stolen your money.

So I am planning to do a cash out refinance on my house and buy additional real estate (or some other investment, could be stocks, bitcoin, multifamily syndication, etc). 

Essentially it goes that someone would buy something on a stolen credit card then ask for the money to be returned to their bank account or paypal account.

If you can, goto coinbase and set up the donation crypto for bitcoin, ethereum...and I can link this to a project in the future for sure.

Go buy some gold, I hear it’s going to $10k/ounce, or bit coin, it’s going to $250k.

What is our liability if their stuff gets stolen, damaged, or someone gets hurt while moving the stuff?

So whether you have your money in real estate, P2P, notes, ETFs, bitcoin or stocks, I just want to emphasize the obvious lesson to readers - always ask yourself what happens if your expectation on timelines are wrong, and what will you do if your main exit strategy is no longer possible.

Lastly, I understand that in a couple of isolated instances a the Qualified Intermediary has simply stolen the funds from the first sale.Are there other downsides to doing a 1031 exchange?

Anyway I don't want to post the specific property in respect to the owner (not that I'm worried it would get stolen from me on here or anything) but it is a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath ranch with an in-law suit that also has at least 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.
