I believe we condition tenants, to prevent them from walking all over us.

Would having someone else do it to prevent you from going to jail for a justifiable respond/action be worth it?

There's nothing preventing you from going after off market properties the way any other real estate investor might (e.g. direct mail, wholesalers, etc).

There is no restriction at all with 1031 that prevents you from purchasing an investment property that you use some for personal use. 

Gen Z also, by being so young, has an attitude we all had when we were young.... invincible, even to a new Virus.Last week, we saw the closure of Florida beaches to stop the mostly Gen Z from partying.HOWEVER, after thinking about it more, if those that were partying for Spring Break passed the virus around and then you stopped their partying and told them to go home all across the US...........I think you get the point.... this only increased the spread of the Virus and probably exponentially.This might not sit well with Medical professionals, but if they would have just allowed the partying to go on for the next two weeks and kept everyone there, treating any who had gotten sick, they could have allowed the Virus to peeter out via the concept of Herd Immunity.Combined this with the fact that we lacked any kind of testing, both for a proper diagnosis AND to see if anyone had recovered developed immunity, as well as lack of protective equipment (N95 masks, gloves, gowns, etc.)... there was no way to prevent transmission and it made our Healthcare professional who are on the front line extremely vulnerable and demoralized.Unless I'm missing something, sending the kids home to every single State in all the corners of America right after they started partying and passing the virus around is one of the most illogical reaction that could have possibly has been done.To me.... it's already too late that a full lockdown is just going to make it far worse as more people will lose their jobs, over months and years, even when the Virus has finally be reduced to a normal flu like situation, the ones who could not recover economically will wind up either homeless or sick due to the stress they have encounter not only from the Virus but on the brink of financial disaster.We already know that reports show that the average American has only $400 left from their monthly pay check to survive on after their expenses.

The only way to prevent that is to really screen your tenant to ensure they've been problem-free with previous Landlords while owning the cat and by conducting regular inspections to verify the tenant is cleaning the litter box regularly and preventing any odors.

The two most common sources for off-market deals are wholesalers, who generally acquire and try to sell garbage, and local real estate agents in the area, who manage to get their hands on pocket deals and estate sales due to their extensive relationships and roots in the area.

You can tell them that and how to prevent it from growing-basically leave the door ajar when not in use. 

I have a similar situation at work where I'm salary, and as long as I'm getting my stuff done, helping scale the company, and the facility isn't burning down because preventative maintenance is being executed, I have the freedom to come and go as I please...leave early, show up late, take a longer lunch if needed.

Do everything possible to prevent water from coming in.
