Are they piecing it up and selling it as part of mortgage-backed securities? 

This assists me with timing deliveries, booking the upcoming trades, and overall coordination of the many moving pieces that go into the inner city project.Just last we we counted over 25 different tradespeople attending the site to do a variety of tasks, from sewer install, trucking concrete, all the way to spraying on foundation damp-proofing.

They are making a power play with their last piece of leverage (their return address).

Would it be best to be a corporation/LLC before I purchase my first piece of real estate?

Which of course has the value of a monopoly piece.

And if investors are not made aware something like this will be slipped into some piece of legislation with a catchy name and will go unnoticed until its too late .

Maybe the idea of paying off any of the mortgages early is also dumb, but one thing this COVID crisis has taught me, is that I would have a lot more piece of mind, if I knew that at least half of my rentals were paid off so I could absorb a loss of rents for a long period of time if it comes to that. 

Say that a man who owned a piece of property dies and has no heirs.  

My final piece of advice is this: Make sure you consult with your attorney and tax advisor before making any important legal or financial decision.

IKEA has their Oftast dishes which are white and like Correlle without the price. 79 cents per piece and they are made by Duralex in France. 18/10 on the flatware.
