And if it were set up where everything went through a title company so the buyer pays the title company, they manage the buyer's loan (from me), and the title company ensures my mortgage is paid without my direct involvement... what parts of the transaction would feel risky or not worth the headache to you? 

@Kris L.I would connect with @Josh Green, I would not be surprised if he dealt with a transaction in your neighborhood and he is a local expert on all fronts.

On the other hand, pros include increased cash flow, engineer-based data for the clients CPA, audit protection (with the right firm) and the ability to deflect that recapture fee with a 1031 transaction.

I run Raise the Standard Real Estate in Milwaukee, WI and we focus on investors servicing them from building a strategy, completing the transaction, and assisting with property management duties.

Don't expect these people to have anything to do with you once the transaction is over and a lot of bitter, nasty fights along the way. 

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

I only use them on wrap/subto/seller finance transactions.

but I had a few thousand transactions in my experience bucket and I did it for one client only..  

In this type of transaction, there is no investor, only notes.

Any transaction done with little or no equity contribution is most probably (there may be a few exceptions) in danger of “blowing up” from over leverage and insufficient equity cushion.
