The truth is that REI is like any other investment - anyone that says they can turn your $10k into $1m in a single year is either lying or selling you an investment with a hefty risk attached to it.

The assessor dropped the assessment from $159,900 to $120,000.The assessment for school taxes did increase slowly (to $135,000) over the 8 years that she owned it but the savings up here in NY were impressive.

She then lied to me and said she was taking the property off the market and I was due no commission.

You're going to run into thieves, unscrupulous contractors, terrible vendors, lying real estate agents, and even awful buyers.

The ad poster is giving the 1031 too much voo doo credence.All the rest that would make a good replacement property for them lies within their own personal preferences and criteria. 

It's not a crime to lie to a potential landlord, not even a misdemeanor.I am a large-sized person but all that means is that people of bad intentions know that it will take a group to reliably overpower me.

If they told me they only wanted it for a short time I would pass, although they could lie, but I do not tell them what is important to me.Of my 5 rooms in this building, One just left after 2 years, the other four have been there between 5 -24 months.

I make sure to ask all new clients about entities owned, details about their entities, and assets owned by the entities.Ya but we've all had a client who tells you the whole time they have everything in a partnership - then they send over docs and there lies an 1120S return lol 

They are an investment blackhole being picked up by people who will never make a profit and are banking on the dual lies of appreciation and "have the other units payoff your mortgage!"

I guess my first question is can a Representative from a publicly traded company knowingly lie to advance the company?
