You need to know your local Real estae market, know the borrowers, then a lot of due diligence and legal documents.

I'm sure it's a much more useful tool than I give it credit for but if you are starting out in real estate or the str game (as indicated by the op) my suggestion is that you need to build on the fundamentals of real estae investing and learn your business not learn how to navigate a tool that may or may not provide value to your particular business.

Real Estae is my choice hoping that it will accommodate my health and the possibly my learning and it's honesty.

By signing the note and accepting the cash, the seller explicitly agrees to such terms and conditions.http://johntreed.com/blogs/john-t-reed-s-real-esta...I would be suspect of anyone wanting to purchase my property "subject to" existing loans that have a due-on-sale clause, as I have no guarantee from said purchaser that they will step into my shoes and fulfill my legal obligations (contacting the lender and informing them that the acceleration clause has been triggered, and paying it off or refinancing if requested by the lender).I realize honesty is a rare commodity these days, but it doesn't mean all of us nest with the wolves.

Here is a reference point to start with (Link Below) - the law office can fill you in with any specific details you might have: It's a caution for "California-Law-for-Real_Estate-Investors"  http://www.methvenlaw.com/Practice-Areas/Real-Esta...I'm not saying that it can't be done legally or that everyone will be charged with a crime, but when there are so many other "Safer" ways ("Off Market" purchases like I do for instance) I just don't think someone new to investing should put their feet too deeply into those waters.

Hey @Joshua McGinnis - We've got a job board as part of the Marketplace . . . we're working on some tweaks at the moment, but if you check back, you'll see it next to the Listings tab at the top of the main Marketplace page (probably be back in a few hours): https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517-real-esta...
