Got it.What we include in the process as well, is "how best to protect yourself from the "due on sale", what happens if the renter stops paying, what if the seller won't vacate, how to get a title report, why to not use a real estate agent, how does this affect my taxes, what makes for a good deal, what exit strategy to use, how do I hold title, what happens when the seller comes back later and demands to be taken off of the loan, how do I hold insurance, what happens when a roof or waterheater need to be repaired or replaced, and on and on.
