I've seen investors not want to pay what they promised to pay the contractor just because they are 'cheap' and think abusing a contractor is an ok thing to do..not implying that you are doing that at all, just saying...that's why it starts w a good detailed contract that each of you lives by. 

That's why I'm wondering if I can just record a deed that transfers my ownership to my trust and it's implied that it's only what I own (which is 60%). 

@Joe Villeneuve There are a ton of people who’ve been saying, or at least, implying, that it’s easy to make money in real estate.  and that you’re foolish to waste your money on college, stock, investing, etc.

@Rich Weese - are you implying that it's gotten easier?

I'm definitely not implying that it isn't, but how do you project that to folks?

He pulled a couple of pages out of a stack and quickly showed me where things seemed to switch and he implied it was some type of error.

Consequently, the upper wall was wet enough to support some measure of this mold, while the lower wall stayed wet longer - since the water migrated downward - and supported a greater quantity of growth in the lower wall areas.The growth pattern and color does not imply that it's Stachybotrys or Chaetomium which occur when there is a lot of mold over a long period of time.

It doesn't matter what you think, it only matters what the buyer thinks and it is called implied agency.

Steve, I didn't mean to imply VA does non-owner occupied, they don't, as I mentioned, you need to live in the property, after a year they'll let you move on and it can be rented.VA entitlements are not to say you get a loan, you still must qualify.

Regardless of representation of a client with fiduciary duties written or implied or performing ministerial acts you MUST disclose you are an agent or broker.Even if you are not a REALTOR and the CODE OF ETHICS do not apply to you there is probably a disclosure law on the books for your state real estate commission that you have to abide by.Bill had it dead on in that as a broker or an agent you are trained in contracts and real estate and are supposed to be informed on a higher level then the average joe selling their property.If you tell the buyer or seller that you are a broker or agent or acting as a principal in a deal and they do still not want representation for themselves then at least you have given the required disclosure and it will be harder for them to claim they were duped later on.
