If the value is there to where you currently own 20% or more, then you should reach out to the lender and ask them to schedule an appraisal.Keep in mind that appraisal is not free, likely ~$600 depending on who they choose.

You have your screening criteria for a reason.If it works, and this person meets your criteria, move forward.If they don't meet the criteria, on to the next.A few folks here have already touched on this: keep in mind the implications behind early termination of the lease and how to reimburse money if it's required.

In Austin, I know Horizon Bank has been open to more creative financing strategies too, so it’s worth checking with them.One thing to keep in mind is that the terms can vary wildly depending on the institution, so I always recommend reaching out to a financial advisor who’s well-versed in life insurance-backed loans before pulling the trigger.

Keep in mind, you often get what you pay for.

With that in mind, use the response to showcase how reasonable and responsive you are.

Networking Opportunities: Are there local networking events, conferences, or online forums where I can connect with other investors and professionals in the Edmonton real estate market?

I am leaning towards hiring an attorney for the peace of mind but I also want to make sure I’m not taken advantage of. 

Got turned into the AG and one group got nailed criminally I also had FBI in my office about another investor who did this as a financial predator he got prison.So in my mind this is going to  play out again with Sub to being taught to the masses and people being people vast majority are honest of course but there will be predators mark my words on that.

So we have 3 buckets in my mind - SFH sale (basic), developer sale for the size of land (new to me), business sale (home + business).The most value would be in selling home + business I believe but I have no idea how to market/find potential buyers for such a thing.

Can anyone tell me where I go online to research what the law is in the states that are relevant to me?
