I can only imagine the amount of permits and their costs would prevent you from doing this unless you have large cash reserves. 

So they tend to work with other good people.Screening is the primary way of protecting your investment because it's 100% easier to prevent a problem than to try to mitigate damage (figuratively or literally) after you have one.Obviously get a security deposit, though you're limited to one month's rent as I mentioned last night.That sound basic, but I can't tell you how many tenants want to move in and then give you the security deposit over time on a "payment plan".

Ways to prevent?

Prevent people from getting screwed. 

I tried talking to my inspector but unfortunately, his report had a lot of fine print preventing any liability on his behalf.  

Hi @Aaron ThiviergeCould you increase all units to the $1,100 or is size, layout or something else preventing you to doing so? 

Paid off rental properties is the lowest possible ROI  and as we all know owning real estate is a major work load that actually prevents you from ever retiring.

The list agent can not prevent the seller from excersizing these rights.None of my previous advice stated that you should circumvent the list agent, on the contrary, I stated to make the offer in your buyers name and bring your buyer to the table for your consulting fee.

One more question before gearing up to do this:I'll need to finance whatever I buy in Indy with this 1031, so does that prevent me from buying from a wholesaler?

The fact that they did not argue their defence during the eviction, to prevent it, is evidence that what ever the are now claiming was made up after the fact.Hopefully common scenes will prevail and they will lose the suit.
