Pat, you're treading on violations on many fronts with side deals done in the time frame of a RE transaction, there is no sneaky way around it that won't or can't get you in trouble.Best way to find a RMLO is to call the state finance department about a list of regulated lenders.

@Marc J Brooks  PDX is one tough wholesaler market.. tread carefully this is not like trying to wholesale houses out in the rust belt

You can use a form similar to this http://prsrentals.com/serviceassistive-animal-form The landlord should tread very carefully due to the expense of a discrimination suit filed with Hud The fact the cost of defending even if innocent of violations can be enormous 

There are some who do it full time without another job but they are treading water barely paying the bills and getting by.

As I understand it from my discussions on this topic with one of my attorneys, the thing that treads on the securities laws is if you bring people in who are not knowledgeable about notes investing and you end up working the notes in the LLC rather than distributing to the members.

Can I save $1500 and 3 days by using retro stair treads and MDF risers instead of matching the stair treads to the 80 year old Doug fir floors?

Once I have closed I will put back the reserves and start looking for more properties.Good luck and I'll keep an eye on this tread to see how you made out.

Tread lightly.Good luck to you.

Use deck screws on the treads, not nails - so they can be replaced easily and will be held fast longer. 

Hey everyone,I'm just seeing this tread for the first time.
