In her book she said if a investor put a deed in a land trust to cover up the due on sale clause, this action could be consider a mortgage fraud; because if a court rules that the intent was to keep the bank from exercising its legitimate rights by hiding an important fact (deed transfer), I can be accuse of mortgage fraud.

I'm at my wits end with these people. 

Local examples I've witnessed result in selling the house (and evicting kids / grandkids), because young adults saddled with student loans, wage stagnation and transient employment have do not afford many the option to buy.

If your intent was to hold the property for productive use and you can demonstrate that wit past practice, documentation of conversations with your professionals, rental agreements, actual rent, etc then you could indeed do a 1031 because your intent was to hold and something external changed that intent.And the unsolicited offer is the gold standard of something that can change your intent.

That is not the same as accusing you of drug activity and is a heads up to you as to the image you are conveying to others in your building.I get the message that you do not care what others think of you or your friends but do not be so knave as to not accept that you are judged by the company you keep.Your circle of friends are sub par for the area you live in and your neighbours are most likely concerned for their safety.

It is accusing interest and their is no payment required.
