Regarding liens and title searches...I think there are private companies you can hire to check title.What state and city are you buying in? 

Anyway, I have no idea how to answer your question other than to say many of the old dinosaurs are gone and private equity owns it. 

I've had to give several notices to fix or move and they didnt do either.

The following is in my purchase agreement and I alway get a MOC on all purchases  MEMORANDUM OF CONTRACT RECORDABLE, PERSONS BOUND AND NOTICE: Buyer may cause to be recorded, at Buyer's option and expense, in the public records of the county in which the property is located, an executed Memorandum of Contract.

If you try BNBCalc.com you may notice there’s percentiles.

What questions should I ask a fund manager before I invest in a private lending fund?

Our private covered dock and lake toys are a bug draw for us in the summer months.Multiple people have said they love the pool table.In our bigger cabin people like the large game room, movie room, custom covered firepit and hot tub.

When tenants don't follow the rules, you get the notices in the mail from the HOA.

I do not think this is a one size fits all answer and there are times where private lending is preferred over traditional financing.

If a sale and capital gains the only option, you could look at seeing if he was interested in selling you all his portfolio on an installment sale and then 1031 exchange the proceeds into a private real estate fund.
