Here in NY if I wrote a cash for keys agreement, it would have to be filed in specific legal places with certain documents and notarized. 

Some insurance companies offer policies specifically designed for owner-occupied multifamily properties, so it’s worth asking about that option.The key is ensuring both your personal residence and the rental unit are adequately covered.

They not only specialize in self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s but also have an entire team specifically dedicated to supporting BiggerPockets members like you.

An investor is going to want to have a specific date they can get their money out of the deal.
