Prosper remains committed to its retail investor clients and to providing them a great experience.

If that person sticks around, he committed to that person as they did to him.

We basically offer all of the services of a turn-key company without the commitments.

It's good to hear advice that that is a possibility without committing mortgage fraud.

Any recommendations for reasonable lawyers that could help me structure the agreement with my uncle to ensure all our bases are covered, it's optimized for taxes, and that he eventually gets the income he is due over time for selling the property to me.As you can see, I have many questions and I know this is a huge project, but I'm committed and I know it's an amazing opportunity. 

Just can't commit to that timeline right now.

Other option is consulting an agent or broker, but am concerned about committing to paying commissions that he market may not bear.  

I just don't want to tie up someone's time or make an implied commitment until I have a better sense of the market.  

You are still allowed to reject that unauthorized roommate if you find criminal or other negative findings from the screening.If you decide to approve the new tenant, just draw up a new lease for a 1 year term (or your choice) with the new rent and make sure all roommates are included on the lease. easier that doing addendums for rent and roommates etc. and you get them to commit to a new 12 month lease so you dont risk move-outs in the middle of winter.

Instead get  a longer listing commitment and then if the seller wants expensive advertising you might offer in allowed in your state ( and with your brokerages approval) to rebate their advertising expenses at closing they pay for with legitimate receipts off the commission.This way if a seller pulls off the market,goes with another brokerage mid listing, or tries to cancel early etc. the seller will be out the money and have skin in the game.
