Does anyone know stats on this or have personal experience in this region?

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often. 

How we purchased our property: Combination of Savings, Personal Loan with interest from a family member (4% interest) and a cash loan from Wells at about 8%.

What I've seen is that when asked to provide an assurance that a loan wouldn't be called because of a due on sale clause being triggered, the lender customer service typically just outright says it's not allowed, or default to a "no", because they see it as a black and white question, and miss why the due on sale clause is actually written into the mortgage document to begin with.If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title.

Just curious do you find that accessing county records online through the county clerk website works just as well as going in person?

It sounds like this is their personal residence.

Hi Ven, I personally consider properties that at least cash flow with full occupancy. 

Did you have to jump through so many hoops and provide this level of personal information?

As a neighbor, personally I don't care if someone smoke a little weed every now and then, but if they are smoking non stop 25 times a day, you might lose a good tenant over that.
