While absolutely no argument from me that you should use a licensed servicer, I think it is important to not over simplify not just DF implications but the entire industry.   

But it simplifies somewhat if you ingore the exemptions and assume no mater what you follow DF:  use a LMLO, qualify to 43% or some DTI, full doc for ATR,  use a servicer, get an appraisal,   do only 3 per year in a person's name.The remaining hitch is the CFPB's "lending as a mater of course of doing business".  

I know I need to get offers out there so I've been marketing to probates and driving for dollars but I want to make more offers than these leads are providing.I really want to start making offers on REOs and HUDs but I don't have the money to buy and double close to re-sell them.I have read about using an LLC as the buyer then selling the LLC but I'm seeing more and more REOs asking for POF with the LLC as the account holder - which I don't have since I would be creating this LLC just to sell.I've been studying more with Land Trusts to simplify the exchange to the end buyer, but haven't found any info on using a Land Trust to make offers on REOs or HUDs.At this point, I'm at a lost for ideas on the best way to make offers on HUDs and REOs that will still give me a good chance to have my offers accepted AND make it easy to assign/sell to an end buyer without needing to double close.I hope someone has a great technique they are willing to share!

In Texas we are seeing almost every conventional closing delayed beyond 45 days, thanks HUD and RESPA for simplifying this for us all.

Keep the multifamily investment property and start growing your real estate portfolio.I really simplified this example but the idea is still the same.

People like large multifamily because high concentration of tenants can simplify management.

Tasked with simplifying complex data, I spent the next 9 years working crazy hours for the company.

You may also be able to simplify the easement with just a blanket easement and leave it up to the electric service provider to map out where their poles and transformers will be set.  

Depending on the state, this would vastly simplify taking the home back if the borrower defaults.

I think the answer is to simplify things so even the most novice investor "believes" they know what they are doing.
