Once the docs are drawn up, you get them signed and notarized and have either the attorney or title company record the financing instruments with the county recorder.

While in the interim being a good tax instrument and getting reasonable appreciation. 

This is called "fair use" and simply sharing it is a violation of copyright law (just like with music)...In summary - @Ken Risheldidn't slander you, he let you know you don't know what you're talking about.  

Sounds like Tyler has mastered the knack of knowing the right people and what makes them tick (freedom to work on their own schedule/at own pace, happened to have the month off, fun/relaxed work site, got to listen to loud rock music & have BBQs, they all went to school together, their Moms are friends, they are between jobs, whatever). 

I also play guitar, and drums so I get to continue my passion for music because I have created this lifestyle that enables me to have the schedule I choose. 

In the general (unchallenged, 'clean' security instrument) case, it's not long and not really that expensive.Yes, a deed transfer (deed in lieu) is also possible...

The LLC does create some level of complication of enforcing the remedies provided in the security instrument and note and for a new inexperienced borrower, I don't think they will extend that risk on the first deal because of those underlying ideas.As many folks pointed out, you really don't need the LLC for protection on deal number 1.

@Jay Chen The price expectation of an asset, priced well, will reflect the time and expenses it will take to enforce the security instrument and the potential recovery of proceeds.  

Unfortunately, no one does it for free,and those who would, are afraid of liability suits, (You give an advice to someone, and before you know it there is a letter from a lawyer...)I think this site is a great instrument as a collective Brian storming.

About your method, I have attempted it before on our county clerks site, which is kind of a tricky site and to view the documents you have to pay$5 a piece.So for example, I put in the legal description for a property I know has 2 different liens, one I just wholesaled actually.That brings up a window with 9 different documents, 4 are listed as equity security instruments w 4 different companies, 3 are affidavits, 1 is a homestead and 1 is an agreement.
