Don't spend your money building ridiculous protections against an exaggerated threat.

Macroeconomics and national gridlock aside, all RE investors face LOCAL threats including zoning regs, property tax increases, rent control, neighborhood associations, and so forth (that can and often do change like the wind).Succesfully investing in RE may have increased in difficulty by a magnitude.

Having said that, these threats to 1031 Exchanges come up everything 3 to 5 years and we must remain vigilant in our efforts to "save the 1031 Exchange." 

The construction could take much longer to complete, costs could increase, the market could experience a downturn by the time construction complete, wild fire are also a threat in this area..High end Malibu homes also take a while to sell and i could be stuck with a huge liability for months; this local markey is not really liquid Retrospectively am not really satisfied by either scenario; even though i'm glad i did it as i learnt a lot.I think a multifamily development in a gentrifying area would have yiedled much better.Multifamily properties appreciated above 10% in some part of los angeles this year, whereas the mountain areas where the lots are haven't really gone upGiven that 800k in equity could buy me a 3200k rental, i calculated that i could have yielded above 40% in cummulated gains and rental incomes each year, cash on cash, without doing anything but buying a low risk 8% real cap rate propertyMultifamily construction would have yielded way moreWhat is your opinion on this investment?

Landlord encourages Tenantto call 911 immediately to report crimes in progress and situations that are animmediate threat to life or property. 

He is not doing anything wrong, You don't need a license to wholesale in Florida. ( Obviously, there are rules and proper way to do it) . though I don't see the need for threating.

Threat of the filing and giving the seller a quick loan did it.

However; should someone be making actual threats, and be known to own guns, etc., that's a different matter.

Kind of like how you would describe Coors Field as a Hitters Park or Tim Tebow as a "dual threat QB".

Hopefully they are just empty threats and they will just move on.
