The problem is NOT the use of remote entity as any fraudulent  activity will fall back on the individual performing fraudulent acts.  

In my experience, these are definitely considered consumables, so it falls on the tenant to replace them.

I still have a few trees to shake yet and will see if anything falls.

There's nothing like the experience of others to help you not only sound more professional in the beginning but also miss a TON of pit falls!  

For example, certain states like CA and MA have "claw-back" provisions, some states have withholding requirements, PA has some funky 1031 exchange laws, etc.Work with a rockstar QI (like @Dave Foster) and a real-estate-savvy tax professional to ensure you don't fall into any traps.

I have 3 or 4 similar investments that fall into this same situation (muli-family syndications, etc.), so I don't think that suspending payments is unusual in this economic climate, nor by itself an indication of malfeasance.

Prayers for all the victims in your area from Nashville, TN. 

@Tim Corey hi Tim can i ask your opinion on the Upper Falls area?

You fall asleep for 10 years and you make a million bucks.

Usually you're falling somewhere in the $150-$200 range, but you really need to understand this number and how to determine it.The market, in general, in Detroit is rapidly appreciating.
