@Rafael Pinho I found this summary of FIRPTA (and some mitigation strategies) to be helpful: https://fascpaconsultants.com/how-to-avoid-firpta-for-foreig...Not an endorsement: I have no connection to this company.

Typically its a "Directly Endorsed" Fully Delegated Bank.

There may be other endorsements that you could add depending on the property.

I actually agree with a lot of what he said as I in no way endorse the misleading or deception of homeowners and sellers.  

You would want to get a homeowners policy with an endorsement for renting one of the units in the house out.

The owner must have an STR endorsement in place on their policy….

@Joe Davis  With a partial note sale there is usually an Assignment of the Deed of Trust (or Mortgage) and an endorsement/allonge of the note from the note holder to the investor. 

Below is one (I'm not affiliated with them nor do I endorse them).https://www.gogrid.tech/

My company even has an endorsement that can be added to home policies or landlord policies that just states the property was bought via contract.
