Sometimes if people do not like the evaluation then they can try and stiff the appraiser with paying for it.With an appraisal for a bank, construction loan,etc. the appraiser has standards to meet and can be held more accountable so those reports tend to hold more weight on accuracy although an appraisal is just an opinion and not an absolute.No legal advice given.    

Hello guys.....Was wondering if i could invest anonymously in real estate.Is that legal?

As with any business, there are strategies that can be employed to legally minimize the taxes, and that holds true for a flipping business as well.It's like saying "will people still open hot dog stands because of the taxes?". 

While you want to have a good relationship with your tenants, they are under a legally binding contract and you shouldn't have to pay them just for them to follow it.

Do I designate one tenant or make all the tenants responsible?

The city will not let me rent the basement even if I make it completely legal.

Be well prepared by getting all the communication with the broker and take it with you to the lawyer and seek legal opinion.

I imagine that the legalities are complicated and if the building fails to cash flow at the expected amount or the owner needs to sell and cannot get the assumed equity out of the building then the investor might be unhappy.

Is this legal?

Hard to say exactly what to do because states are different but I personally would get the legal eviction process started and follow through.
