Realistically, I am never going to have over 3 total losses in discontiguous houses at the same time, so hopefully something like this is a legal possibility.My actual scale is a little larger than that but not way beyond that.

So, for example, rather than the peak of 9% inflation last year, adding the cost of credit on top of that we actually peaked at 18% last year.

Hello,I'm wondering if anyone has been in a situation where your current rent on a sfh is such that when you rented in last year (or prior year for those that experienced this a while ago) the rent was the average for similar homes, but currently (as the lease is coming up for renewal) the average has actually gone down.

I've budgeted for what needs immediate correction but worried this could spiral faster than expecting.Am I actually in a good financial position to do this?

The zoning maps may show that you can build but the geology would make it to expensive for someone to actually build with out losing money. 

Actually furnished would be best as my current furniture is in great shape and is not likely to go well in my new house. 

I mean, if you’re like me and don't like to drink, drive, fly, eggs, enjoy reading by flickering candlelight, and prefer living in a tent in your buddy’s backyard (I actually did this in college) then you are good to go.

@Andrew Lax, A consolidation 1031 exchange from 15 SF to a larger commercial is actually very doable. 

I actually live in Hakuraku (just a couple stops from Yokohama) and would be very interested in joining if there's room for one more! 

Something like: when the foundation is finished, the framing, electric and plumbing are in, roofing and siding, etc   They will usually hold back 20% or so until the house actually has cleared all permits including the final permit of occupancy.
