@Chris SeveneyWe need to cut down on the pre-bid initial DD time it takes to make bids on assets (noteproz seems to do that and Scott Carson endorses them).We also need an asset manager and a contact list and something that produce reports and something that we can upload our soft collateral to and maybe even have an interface or upload/download capability into QB.Thanks.

Many companies can add an endorsement to the Homeowners for the unit. 

I'd endorse itblank propertiespay to the order ofBrett Roth Then endorse with your signatureBrett RothDeposit in your accountThat should clear And yes, get your stuff together, LOL :)

I have 0 business with James, I have 0 motive for saying this endorsement and example other than it's the truth of it.

You need the note endorsed and delivered, an assignment filed for the note and deed of trust, you need to have the note seller give notice of the assignment to the borrower with new payment instructions for amounts due, you'll need an accounting much like a HUD-1 settlement transaction along with tax filings for 1098/99 and reporting requirements.

Some carriers will also offer an endorsement that lowers premium if you agree to use modernized versions of repair methods (i.e. drywall instead of lathe and plaster) - these are cost savings to them in the event of a claim so make sure you get a lower premium for it.  

His knowledge on rental accounting is crazy good, I wish he lived closer he would get all of my business, Second if @Natalie Kolodij is endorsed by @Linda Weygant, then she must be good, as I think Linda is amazing good too. 

Notes are acquired by assignment and endorsement to the new holder and the assignment is filed for record.

There are a number of ways to have it YOUR way when investing - Ask the seller to loan it to youDo an installment down payment agreementGive the seller a note - pay him a percentage of the rent you will be collectingGive the seller a post dated check - post dated for 2 yearsOffer a blanket mortgage on another property you ownAsk seller to repair something (we call it the"Front Porch clause) instead of him doing it, he gives a check in that amount ($50,000) that it will take to do the repair - you endorse the check and give it back to him as the down-payment.Borrow SOFT MONEY on another property you ownBring a limited partner in on the deal - they borrow money on their property - you pay them back over time with a nice interest and don't forget a buy out clauseAsk your girl friend, your Mother or drinking buddies - offer a free apartment for a limited amount of timeAsk the owner to finance 100% of the deal - keep him in as a limited partner Offer 20% more for the building if the seller will take back a principal only mortgage (that is without interest) offer a balloon payment and split notes.Ask the seller to let you manage the building for a year - collect the rents and make improvements from the rents receivedOwner financing with split notes (details on this to come)Proposal to the owners daughter - make friends with the seller's wife - let him know you really want this property - beg for help - tell him you are a nice person - just getting started Offer a Hybrid offer - offer less - improve the building and give seller 20% of the profitsTry a Delayed Settlement with right of possession and subject to the mortgage - you make payments until settlement 1-2 years later.
