Can I, as an individual or through another entity, can make a loan financing those properties without having a license?

We may live on the Iowa side since that is where I was born and raised.We would like to start with purchasing REO properties and then lease option with tenant.

When I buy a house at a trustee foreclosure auction and the previous owners are still in the house, do I need to hire a lawyer to evict them or can I, as the new owner, just show up at the justice of the peace on the court date with a copy of the trustee's deed, or do I need other documentation?

If there i a good thing about any tax, it is flat rated and not graduated.

Here's the problem: the common driveway is riddled with potholes; both within our property line as well as the neighboring 4plexs' property line.Do Ia) fill in all potholes, regardless of who's property line they may lie on, with the understanding that I will be shouldering the entire cost of this repairb) fill in our half of these potholes (quite literally, this would mean filling in just 1/2 of several potholes)orc) send a letter to the neighboring 4plex owner asking if they are willing to share the cost to fill these potholes.

Figure out rent potential and run numbers for hours (as he loves to do).I made the connection, made it happen, and now I am waiting on his approval of the property before we move to the next step.My question, as I sit on the couch once again, is what can I, as the business man do, to make sure my stake in this is well earned.

I a newbie so I hope this isn't a "dumb" ?.

But I like the feeling of " one degree of separation" that the property management LLC potentially provides between The tennant and I as well as legally should something happen.I was talking with some other investor friends who brought up creating another LLC for handyman/ construction work.
