I’m new to REI and looking forward to learning and connecting with people in the BP community!

Most people won't put in the work. 

Over the past few months the landlord has been trying to sell the property but nobody has actually bought it.

If you do find that the costs to maintain the investment property are too substantial and you'd rather sell down the road, it would qualify for a 1031 exchange since the property was held for investment use.

People have to remember that the seller finance space fills the gaps that the banks leave behind. 

I am obviously conflicted with the moral side of pursuing legal action here, but understand that people can do untruthful things when it comes to financial gains. 

What the concept you mentioned is talking about is leveraging equity to gain cash vs. selling essentially. 

I've been in the lending Industry for 20 years, and I feel many people on BiggerPockets give misleading information a lot of times.

I am not the expert, but just from talking with people and seeing the posts pitches from wholesalers.

Why not sell it?
