I'm wondering if I should create a trust with me as the beneficiary to provide a level of anonymity.

I look at the job , topsoil is there ( 20 tons) flat level lawn , looks sparse and its 18,000 sq ft .

A lot of them are getting to a point where you get the look and to some degree feel of the simulated material with the practicality of the actual material.I think SS appliances and granite counters will maintain some level of popularity long-term, because they last fairly well. 

When interviewing potential PM's determine a service level agreement that you are happy with and ensure they (and you) stick to it.

There are companies who solely do foundation work/house leveling. 

One familiar reason is NIMBYs ...while it is important that local residents have input on new housing, their resistance to new development is "heightened" especially in coastal California, and it's slowing down the ability of developers to build more housing to alleviate the stress on the limited housing supply. - sourceAnd while the average project approval time for new construction is about four months nationally, it takes eight months on average in L.A.To recap, here are some of the challenges inhibiting development in LA:Getting entitlements for new development is expensive and timelyNIMBYism and the control of local communities over the planning process adds tremendous risk as a project could be stopped due to law suits, lack of approvals, or requirements which make deals unprofitableThe high cost of land and entitlements coupled with a lack of incentives restricts the pool of developers who can afford to developBecause it is so challenging to develop and because we have such a shortage of housing, developers can only make their deals profitable if they target high-end buyers, further contributing to macro-gentriction wherein only the affluent can own homesThat said, it isn't impossible for a developer to develop.

From what I hear, Florida is where old people go to die so inventory levels are probably quite consistent.

And like everyone some tenants will resist but you just need to decide if you want to grandfather them in and be strict on any new inbounds by putting it in the tenant acknowledgements.

I have also heard that it is important to make sure you have clean hands as the first level of conduct is for them to assume you are involved as well and are reporting because of some "falling out" with the target. 

The latter is, oftentimes, the path of least resistance in relation to having a tenant leave early.
