Hello BP family,Happy to be officially part of the team.

Notarized, recorded, official and everything. 

I told him I will not hold the property and once the lease is signed and money is exchanged is when it is officially rented.I am really scared to upset this person and choose the second and later applicant.  

Of course they never found it and the city of Harrisburg eventually went bankrupt due to the massive expenditure of placing the official USA Today “#1 City in the USA” graphic on every police car, ambulance, uniform, fire truck, building, park bench, police dog, memorial statue, lamppost, street light, crossing guard, trash truck… you get the point.

Two minutes ago.  Scared but also happy to be over the paralysis.  Ha.  Thanks BP!  Couldn't have done it without you.  Property is in Bridgeport, CT.

A good Title Attorney can officially determine and verify the Minersl interest for you.

While I pay her rent there is no official document or lease.  

I know the official answer is that it changes the type of loan (a loan I wont be approved for, I've checked with my broker) but what is the REAL answer?  

Here is link to an official government document on this issue: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/forms/304_boc.pdfFor what it's worth, many states require registration, if not all.  

I have been reading bigger pockets for years but just "officially" joined.
