REIA meetings, meetups, calling the "handyman special" signs, calling the "we buy ugly houses" or the "we pay cash" billboards and signs.  

As such, third parties (lenders, brokers, tenants etc.) should sign contracts with the Management Company and not the Investment Entity to add an extra layer of protection for the Investment Entity against any lawsuits arising from those contracts.

At first, we only signed a 3-month lease with them until they figured out the next steps, but now they are needing to extend a full 12 months (approved by insurance). 

Lenders have nothing to lose signing up a broker. 

If some celebrity died on your property and a bulldog lawyer was sufficiently motivated, your LLC can likely be pierced. 

Thankssss You can make a sign unseen offer...just offer the land value. 

Note: if roommates change during the tenancy, a lease addendum is signed and the security deposit is called out so that there will be no confusion in the future, 'The Landlord and the Tenant's agree that . . . '  This lease addendum may also guide your bank record when the funds are withdrawn later.

I like everything Andrew posted but generally speaking your ensuring the tenant/resident is residing in the property in a way that is in accordance with the lease agreement they signed. 

Consider partnering with your parents to co-sign a mortgage or exploring creative financing options like FHA loans or private money lenders.

I looked at MLS property, FSBOs, private ads, signs on properties, word of mouth, everywhere I could think of/find.
