I did one that way once to help them out and the lawsuit they later filed only took three years to resolve.

Hello BP -When I look at note investing from 30,000 feet it looks like a strategy that would be very compatible with my lifestyle goals.

As this issue has not been fully resolved by the IRS, Midland IRA will allow an individual to make this investment, but will have the IRA owner sign an indemnity agreement relating to the transaction.

Superstore buildings will probably be slowly supplanted by smaller footprints with some type of virtual compatibility, similar to Walmart's "buy online pick up here". 

Does anybody know of a way to resolve this?

The situation is complex and I've started working with an attorney to resolve the debt at the extent the law will allow.  

Finding a compatible roommate who will be living with you is a different process than finding a tenant for a separate unit.

If a tenant has a problem with landlord not completing essential repairs like the flooding from the upstairs unit, the tenant can file a complaint and escrow their rent payments with the city until the issue is resolved, so their excuse wouldn't work to prove they were responsible tenants put in a bad situation.  

I managed 75 properties for three years and became bored in the third year after all renovations and no pays were resolved.

I've called them 3 times regarding this issue and they tell me it's a "known issue" and that they are working hard to resolve it.
