@Zach HowardThere is no legal requirement for landlords to actually witness lease violations firsthand.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

It is an expense, but they keep it all legal and compliant.

I'm not familiar with the market or the legalities of wholesaling Florida.

So when my clients work with me, I simply guide them through the process of originating their own loan (legally, in the states that allow it).

They legally have to have this document filled out if they pay you more than a certain amount over the period of 12 months.

Namely, that if a tenant (in this case accompanied by a whole family) ends up stop paying rent and I would be on the hook for both covering the mortgage and dealing with open ended legal costs and time.

Most are fine with that, but a few will have problems with it and claim there are legal issues, etc..

One common approach is to form a legal entity, such as an LLC, where both of you are equal partners.

Well anyone can write anything into a contract, but whether it is legal and enforceable is for the courts to decide...It is State law here that a contractor must call 811 or they are liable for the costs.
