Quote from @Irina Badal: I heard for anonymity purpose it’s advisable to set up a personal residence trust.

Maybe she will sell for less, but I suspect you'll have to convince her that she benefits from the transaction somehow.Usually, a title company expects a written purchase and sale agreement first, before they will do a title report and they need to know the sales price in order to set the coverage.

I explained to the landlord what my business plan was, and paid him a set rent amount each month (though slightly higher than market rate rent).

Clear out that line of credit and finish the apartment and move on to flips and try to focus on short term money and my business because I already have a couple of rentals set up for long term wealth.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

Just the other day I saw someone had used black sheet rock screws in the hangers on a brand new deck (non-permitted obviously, and not a single lag or any flashing on the ledger board, and they painted it immediately before the pressure treated lumber had even dried out so that’s going to peal in the first year, at about the same time that those sheetrock screws start to rust lol). 

Then set them up as your screensaver.

I had to present my documents for setting up the LLC and also my EIN number.

No pressure here but wanted to be able to offer a hand since I'm local to Lane County.

Just go into it armed with solutions, being up front with people and setting yourself up for success.
