I met many of them personallyThere is also something known as FRAUD BY INDUCEMENT.

Signing contracts with NO intention of closing is called FRAUD IN THE INDUCEMENT which seems to be heavily promoted by some BP members.

Vacancies induce more work, but I also have a local team to do the heavy lifting, so I drive out for the move-out inspection, gather a to-do list and start assigning tasks to the team.

If you are signing contracts to purchase, whatever your purchase price is should cover all outstanding liabilities UNLESS you are LYING TO THE SELLERS and using FRAUD BY INDUCEMENT to get them to sign a contract:) So, what they owe would not be relevant to a certain extent.

That doesn't take FRAUD BY INDUCEMENT into account.

Most states require that you be licensed to market a property that you do not own.The other problem is that if you put the seller's property under contract without both the intent and the ability to close on it, you could be charged with "fraud in the inducement".

However, if rates of Marijuana induced issues, such as driving under influence, start to emerge, you can bet the Fed will start getting involved.Now I am curious what your legal counsel has told you.  

He's been busted for teaching fraud in the inducement, fraud in the factum, false advertising, bait and switch, and illegally brokering without a license. 

Nothing could induce me to heap more time or dollars on to this experience.
