Well it looks like non-profits are exempt....So I suppose Dope Traffickers will just buy an ongoing concern non profit and operate that with ownership as an IBC (International Business Corporation) in some privacy haven, or Russia, or Yemin or somewhere (if those places have privacy laws???)

They are more concerned about protecting the hotels. 

I have to say I have been investing in commercial real estate since 1997 and have never been more gravely concerned about an investment I have made than these two. 

I'm more concerned about appreciation and equity so I'm willing to trade the cash flow for it, but I don't want to be in a situation where I'm barely breaking even and the stress that comes with it.Looking for ideas how I can tap into that equity to grow my portfolio but still getting some kind of cash flow to be able to make the monthly payments1.

You'll want to explore this with your accountant and see what side of the fence they are.What is more a concern to me is your plan to let the property sit for a couple of years and then move in. 

Anybody else concerned about the future of commercial real estate with the coming robotics and AI?

They’ll take care of everything from listing and tenant screening to addressing tenant concerns.

I have financed a number of STR properties and they will usually be appraised as a pure real estate as vacant value and a cash flow adjusted commercial value, sometime separated as going concern and real property.  

My biggest concern is not the concept itself.

 My concern regarding an ongoing issue with my Stessa account.
