Most of this time there wasn’t easy, online verification of deed transfers, as there are now.  

Where there is direct control and complete unification into a single merged activity there is little doubt as to liability.3) To avoid that I need to maintain separate identities such as with accounting records, bank accounts, arm's length transactions, etc.

Its alsmost identical to a normal transaction.

But the legit exchanges all ask for identity documentation now.

Looks like it has tons of potential but some type of verification to minimize the upsold "deals" would need to be in place to improve the site.

If they're leasing identical units to new tenants I think you have a very strong case they're screwing you.Again, the discount would motivate someone who want's your type of unit to take yours over alternatives.

Hello,The Situation:I bought my current home for $190k (tax assessed $250k, Zillow $265k, rent ~$1.5k-$2k) and my neighbor is selling their near identical home (slightly smaller and basement access only from outside) for $225k (initially listed at $250k).

@Troy StoehrSomething you can try with the other side is see if they will sell you a purchase rights or first right of refusal on their half.There is a wonderful lady who lives across the street from one of our student houses, in an identical house.

Most guard their identities and don't want their names being sold to who knows who, and rightfully so.
