I didn't have control over the ARV figure (the market controls that) and I found that if I tried negotiating a lower rate/points with my private lender they would find other places to invest their money.

@Ted Akers  yes for instance this would not work well in WA with the excise tax of 1.78% or there about on title transfers.this was a low end deal in GA so it was a normal wholesaler approach I think the guy made 10k on the deal we made a few bucks and they absorbed the one closing costs and transfer tax which was probably nominal I would have to look at the hud.I can see this working in states were double escrows are not allowed any more... or if a wholesaler wanted to put to bed the thought that they are selling re without a license.. you know the wild wild west out there in that industry were basically anything goes   until it does not  LOL.I am NMLS mortgage banker sitting in the bullpen.. my license is on ICE but I do the CE.. just don't want to have to take the test again incase I want to jump back into doing HML.. so for right now taking title is a clear path.. no securities issues no licensing issues.. etc etc.. and 100% control. the only way I will do this these days.. but then again my clients are well known to me for more than a decade most of them and they are high volume flippers etc... so we have a lot going on...

My strategy doesn't involve influence by any factors outside of my control. 

It isn't wrong to do that but they want to see that the owner of the property is in control and that isn't you.There is a risk that they might take a look at those other properties, but if they are doing well and following the rules, their probably won't be a problem.Having said that, it is AirBNB and sometimes the stuff they do, don't make no sense. :)

Hi Jerry,SF has some of the strongest rent control laws in the country, limiting how much you can increase rent and they also have a strict guideline for eviction. 

The husband is a pretty emotional person, he kept saying that all the memories of his kids are in that house, and he would not be able to sell the place!!

Especially when so many people hopping on here want to give the exact same emotionally-charged, offended, and "personal" opinion over and over...and over.

The Colorado Real Estate Commission does not control every contract in the state, so it doesn't even make sense. 

You lose control of the property by taking your name off the deed, but will still be responsible for the payments because you’re still on the mortgage. 

This is the second best time to plant a tree...don't wait for things outside of your control because you'll be waiting forever.
