If you could finagle such a device, I suspect you and it would disappear rapidly to somewhere Indies Ark of the Covenant is kept, lol. 

Your lawyer should cost $25-50k, accountant 20k, insurance 10k, rent, marketing material, sales staff, etc.While the 2/20 model has largely disappeared, you need to make enough on your deals to make the upfront capital outlay worth it.

JUST THINKING OUT LOUD...if you tie up the property long enough with confusion, that cash offer might disappear and you become the best offer again...

My auto responder sends 10 Q’s. 1/3 fill it out completely, 1/3 disappear, 1/3 partially fill it out.

If the actual threat of a forced eviction was only a month or a few weeks away they might be motivated to accept a buyout but I think people need to be realistic here.

The Mortgage Amortization Calculation.It's really relevant.Consider that, as in my case, the Mortgages will be in the Millions.If you were to get a 30 year fixed rate $1 Million Mortgage and your Investment Property breaks even on Cash flow, meaning that the rents pay all the expenses as well as the Mortgage Payment, then your $1 Million Mortgage disappears in 30 years.If we do a simple calculation, take $1 Million divide it by 30 years, you get $33,333 per YEAR and $2,777 per month.If you don't see the value in this calculation, I think this has been a very missed opportunity merely because it's not emphasized in any of these books.
