Investigate thoroughly.I would look at it if I were willing to 1031 and put the full equity from the house into buying the duplex.

Some additional thoughts:1) How well have you investigated the comparables that support the $900 rent?

Hello @Trevor Ewen,Not to sound alarmist but the last mayor of Paterson, NJ got convicted for corruption after an FBI investigation.

Every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.If convicted, Santarelli would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI are investigating this matter with assistance from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

The act essentially means that in order to do wholesaling & market publicly - you have to be licensed, & if you are not you are doing unlicensed activity that can result in investigations & fines.

Santarelli skimmed from some investors to make interest payments to others, authorities said.The investigation is continuing by Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI, and is being prosecuted by Chief Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer L.

We excel under current market conditions – the same ones that have many people panicking, as several of the major players in the real estate fund space are reporting losses, forced sales, foreclosures, and SEC investigations.

Best retain an Architect or Civil Engineer to investigate this things before you Close and give options on what to build.  

@David KanarekI don't think I have ever seen better investigative research than this.Hat's off to you and sorry for your troubles and everyone else's.Please don't investigate me haha

Beth made it clear that she was not willing to investigate my case and told me to “file whatever you need to file or just wait for court.”On August 13, 2025, the District Court confirmed in open court and her written order that the Defendants had not paid and that the matter should not have even reached a hearing.
