Quote from @Chris Seveney:

@Kristian L.

Investment vs primary has different laws but it’s still same process - you have to foreclose. With a primary there is Dodd frank and consumer protection laws like you are supposed to send monthly statements and each one you don’t send could be a fine as well as not being allowed to collect interest in a default

For second position you need to understand what is going on with the first

It is illegal to record a deed of trust for $500k if you only gave $50k- so no you cannot do that.


 Is there a way I can prevent the borrower from creating any subordinate liens? I have this in my promissory note, but they can still do it. 

  1. Prohibition on Additional Liens
    Borrower agrees that, during the term of this promissory note and until the full satisfaction of all obligations herein, Borrower shall not create, incur, or permit to exist any other liens, encumbrances, or security interests on the property serving as security for this loan, without the prior written consent of Lender. Any attempt to create, incur, or permit the existence of any such liens without such consent shall be deemed a default under this promissory note, and Lender may, at its option, declare all amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable. Failure to fulfill this obligation will result in the note being deemed in default.

Hi. Can anyone recommend a foreclosure attorney? 

- Some of the questions I have: 
As a PML, what is the difference if I get collateral in an investment property or a primary residence. 
I hear that it can be harder to foreclose in a primary. 

- If I have a second lien, how to handle possible subordinate liens?

- If I have a second lien, how to handle first position?

- If I lend 50K normally a Deed of Trust is recorded in the amount of 50K. Can I get 500K recorded, even if the note is 50K? To discourage anyone getting subordinate liens.

Hi all. I am looking for a solid property manager to manage a rental in Chickasaw. Any recommendations?

Typically you pay more HOA on ccondos that houses, but you pay way less tax on Condos than houses. 
e.g. of something I have
Condo: HOA 240 - Tax 36
House: HOA 80 - Tax 123

@Kristian Lind I have looked at a bunch of condos as well and the HOA fees seem to kill more deals than anything. Several hundred a month in some examples and I have no idea what it goes to.

I've heard a lot warn against condos for this and other reasons. Do you have any experience in investing in condos? Based on the price points this is the area my wife and I are currently looking into and would love to talk more with someone with experience.

Hi. 
I just sold a 2br condo on 89115 and am looking for something else, maybe in a better ares, to do a 1031. But I can't seem to find any properties that is worth the price. 
I see 2-3 br in better areas but they are 200K - 250K for 1000 sqft - 1200 sqft. For that to work, I need $1.4 - $1.5 per sqft in rent.
e.g. https://www.redfin.com/NV/Las-... would need rent for 1700 or https://www.redfin.com/NV/Las-... for 1900 - not sure that is possible.

So I am thinking I will take my profit and pay off another condo. I will have to pay some taxes, but we are talking around 10K in taxes. 

Anyone finding any properties worth buying for rental? I am aiming for 12% - 15% cash on cash. That is what I have on the condo I am selling.

I get 1050 for a 2 br and 1250 for a 3 br.
I actually just sold a 2br (under contract) and now I am looking for something else so I can do a 1031, but I can't find anything worth the price. 
I see 2-3 br in better areas but they are 200K - 250K for 1000 sqft - 1200 sqft. For that to work, I need $1.4 - $1.5 per sqft in rent.

@Kristian Lind if you don't mind me asking, what are you getting in rent on those? Always trying to get up to date numbers as I look for options.

Also, are you currently looking for more condo units or do you stay away from those at this point?

I have a few units here in Las Vegas and will properly sell one and buy something else.. but IMO there is not much good to buy. Everything is so expensive. Looked at some condos here and there, but the cash flow is just not there.
