Maybe play dumb a little "I don't know if I'm in the right place..."

Yes, getting sued is a risk factor and I've been involved with frivolous lawsuits which are not fun, but in my opinion you'd be in a much better spot owning a property in your personal name that let's you keep an extra 10-20% of the purchase price in your pocket as emergency funds, as opposed to buying the loan under an LLC that requires every last penny you might have to make the higher down payment, then you have to operate on a shoestring.

Don't ask me about Dutch Brothers or Burger King or Target, as soon as that is in play, my "in general" commentary is right out the window.

I get the whole 'dont fall so far behind market value' narrative but this is a long term play for me to gradually trade less of my time for w2 income if you will.

In your case looking to larger assets where you can effeciently cost segregate to gather bonus depreciation would be a smart move.Appreciation - Where in the country is the asset class you like growing or going to be growingAmortization of the loan - What sector or even region if you look locally for funding, is going to offer the most favorable lending so that less goes to interest expense and more to pay down of principle.Have fun with a spread sheet comparing these 4 returns from your investment with the type and location of assets you find attractive. 

A trained engineer could have some fun with this if something like this went to jury or if they were called in as a witness (kind of weird what engineers call fun for most people). 

Found out that everything the way it has played out and the details I have dug up on the tenant this is part of a an elaborate scam and includes a circle of people involved.

These situations are never any fun to deal with.

If you're 75 or 85 or 95, big lump sum to take that year long round the world cruise might be pretty fun. 

I'd play that aspect up.Best of luck with this one!
