His "team" has attempted to buy a couple of my properties in Cleveland, Ohio using a dead LLC. 

If you offer more $ for the property than the all cash offers AND you appear to the seller to be highly qualified in the method you are using for sourcing the payment, at some point your offer will be more appealing than the all cash offers.I don't understand why you would consider a 1031 for another property in two years. 

I'm attempting to get it zoned to enable building a duplex. 

Latest is prop 33.  3rd attempt to pass this with aids health foundation having spent mid $40m last I looked.  

I would restate that the lease will remain in place until such time that a new tenant is selected and moves into the property.This approach will ensure your cash flow while acknowledging that 'stuff happens.' 

@Lassy Gnini I always encourage investors to come out and see where their money is going, get to know you team and the people that will be managing your properties, money and rehabs. 

I am currently evaluating Batch Driven, and I will evaluate others in the near future.

I'm afraid they will squat if I attempt to get them out. 

They will ban you and you'll never be allowed back on the platform. 

lol, bro, he's been involved in an attempted murder twice in the last 6 months.
