Include utilities in rent to simplify things.

Another simplified illustration, but a person in each state buys a $1,000,000 house.

Hi @Lee Jedlicka, acquiring the W9 sooner rather than later is a great simplifying move for you, and considering they are “surprised” (which is true of most of the contractors in my area, too) it means they are probably going to require a LOT of follow up and coaxing to actually fill it out later, so save yourself some grief and have them return it to you now :)

I'm interested to own the property because it would simplify and secure my future, and leave me with a valuable asset to sell after I believe she got a very good deal from a mentor who owned the building and is carrying mortgage. 

In fact, the course was simplified by being an investor already. 

It simplifies it for me and the tenant.

To my knowledge a simplified assignment contract is good in any state

We will strive to keep it as simplified as possible for all BUT information will be exchanged at a level not suited for the novice just looking to learn, this will be more of a 405 level event than 101. 

To put it in very simplified terms, if you sell for 700K with 350k in proceeds remaining, all you need to do is invest 350K total in various DST's that have financed around 50% of the underlying property.

They seriously simplify complex thoughts and numbers.
