Doesn’t that go beyond what a finder can do, which is simply to connect two parties? 

Hi Linda - your services make a lot of sense for someone who is trying to go the MTR route, however if they are just now buying a house in today's dollars and rates, and setting it up as a MTR, it may be hard to substantiate a few thousand dollars to pay a third party to do the set-up after they just spend tens of thousands, or potentially hundreds of thousands on a house DP in Raleigh + furniture.I think the fundamentals work for someone who's owned it a while, has made great cash flow, and who has been thinking about converting from LTR to MTR, and just doesn't want the hassle of set-up and marketing but wants the returns.

Either one of you buying the other one out, OR selling it to a 3rd party.

I worry about having bad guests throwing parties, especially with a 3 bedroom unit.

To protect all parties, monies are run through the escrow/title company and remain there until the deal is done. 

Give them 3-5-10 years to claim it.In my area for the most part I think it is a needed system and a fairly efficient system, which is probably a miracle for the way a lot of government works or doesn't work.   

You need an independent third party to act as QI. 

In my experience the real challenging part is to find a property that will cashflow after the refi.

I also relied heavily on the appraisal report as a 3rd party verification that all information was accurately presented to me. 

IT's a total party here.
