If you want to be more on the knowledge/digital side of skill, marketing is a good place to start.

Trying to stay at arms length (close to relative type deal) but want to watch over an elderly person.

Before people get in my DMs or up in arms about how important interest rates are please take a moment to read in its entirety to understand what I mean.As a mortgage broker and banker, I often hear that a client of mine is "shopping" interest rates. 

The biggest advantage of having a good buyers agent to me is the comps they know to better value your potential property, the digital offer PSA and connections to a good inspector and lender. 

Just got done reading the entire thread, so what is the conclusion who are the reputable lenders with a closing track history that can be verified that lend 100% without charging an arm and a leg to good qualifiers with good credit and income?

Platforms like PropStream, REI Reply, and DealMachine can help with property data and lead generation.Digital Contracts and E-signatures: Make use of digital contract platforms like DocuSign or Dotloop to handle agreements virtually without needing to meet in person.4.

@Naomi Spira  not real tough to prove these are not valid arms length leases.market price is double leases done 3 days before foreclosure sale slam dunk

I understand there’s some nuance state-to-state in terms of deed of trust usage vs. using a mortgage for the second lien position (our investor in this case).So that we can arm ourselves with the most knowledge going into discussions, could anyone advise what the setup process actually looks like here?

Instead, go with something like “I’m in the neighborhood handing out” as you extend your arm to give whatever it is to them.
