I'd like to use a land trust to facilitate a seller financing deal (subject to existing financing).

Regular income comes from business operations by a dealer or operator.A "real estate operator" is not a negative term and is one who facilitates real estate operations for profit.If you look at your state statures they may use words like "facilitates" or "operates" or "deals" in real estate as to a license requirement.

I posted the specs on craigslist and found an investor who called himself a specialist in the area.I sent him the pics that the Realtor had given me, and facilitated the meetup between the two at the property.

I'd say start by reading all the forums and look to areas that seem to be in areas that you will likely specialize in, but read some of all the forums.You should be able to spot good contributors, understand too that most everyone here is promoting themselves in one way or another, it's a networking site to facilitate business.

Building advantages: Substantial savings vs continuously poured foundationMuch less framing material needed due to post frame designLarge wall cavities permit insulation of R30-R40 in the walls and R50-R60 in the ceilingRadiant flooring can be economically installedLeads to very high energy efficiency with utility savings of 20-40%Conservation of building material, reduced energy usage, and minimized disturbance of soil all contribute to "green" aspectVery rapid build time of 45-60 daysCan build through winter with no issues (slab can readily be poured inside framed home)Metal roofs are highly resistant to hail damage, and insurance cost is normally lessExterior is 100% maintenance free and will last for decadesStructure design has very high resistance to damage from wind, seismic, and snow loads (superior to stick-built)Free-span structure facilitates open interior spaces, cathedral ceilings, and stylish loftsExterior can be accented with stone, brick, and other materialsStylistic external use of masonry accents, dormers, gables, and waitscoting provides attractive appearanceMaintenance free aspects and one-level living could be very appealing to seniors who are downsizing, particularly in structured communities with some common walking areas or other inexpensive amenities.So there's some more color.

The seller could be innocent in the origination, but acceptance of the ill conceived note puts them in a position using that note to facilitate an installment RE sale that is covered, so they are also wrong.While we will say that I made a loan to Frank, actually, the borrower is the "Maker" of the obligation.The SAFE Act language is not specific to who gets hammered, it says "anyone who makes, originates, ....or facilitates a financing transaction"... can be responsible.

Accounting manages the interests held by each member.Another thought is that investors or operators need to start working together, through and to conduits that can facilitate financed transactions, thinking that no one investor is really big enough to continue with some strategies, but if they were to band together, it would change the way deals might be accomplished.Staying small is not an option. :)

Closing Company & Location: Closing to be facilitated by and held at ABC Settlements.

A third party acting as a facilitator may not assist in qualifying any buyer or originate any note without a license.2.
