However, navigating the legal and financial complexities of Subto deals requires careful attention, so I’d recommend working with a real estate attorney to ensure everything is structured correctly.Securing private money for the closing is a smart move, but ensure your terms allow for flexibility in case of unexpected repairs or delays in cash flow.

But in this care, you're not. 

Blue Ridge cabin market is dropping hard right now, be careful.

The Lender does not care!

Thanks Jon I guess we just have to really be careful to inspect OURSELVES and decide whether to go ahead with the deal...before the official inspection...thanks again Jon.

We do have a management company that takes care of all that.  

You could say you are the manager which is true.Carry correct insurance and take care of your properties and you should be fine.

We are now getting notice from something they filled out asking us about their payment history,  They are nice people and take good care of our home, but they lack communication and clearly can not handle their finances.  

or they just care about the house being "liveable"?

It's better to care for your own retirement fund, I am pretty sure most of us will do a better job.
