All good points, don't rely on anything oral that the selling broker says. 

You are probably looking at about a 10% monthly fee of your rent plus half or all of your first month's rent to find a tenant.3.

Monday-Wednesday next week or all of the next week is good for me.

Real estate, bonds, stocks, save the money, or all four?  

I would say, contrary to your post, that there would be a question in most (or all) states if I could advertise and sell the above list even though the items would be owned as personal property.

I haven't seen it yet but he probably goes through some or all of these ideas:--------------Seller financing means talking to the seller and having them do some kind of creative financing solution.

However, I did end up with a few quality tenants from those and the reason they asked those questions are because they have been scanning ads all day or all weekend, browsing through 100s of properties, along the way, writing down on a list of paper the properties they feel are potential fits but the problem is they don't write down all the details most of them just write down contact numbers, addresses and how much rent. 

The short take is that if an investor is not playing banker (self-financing part or all of a transaction), Dodd-Frank does not apply at all.

Maybe better than considering a LPMI or lender paid MI, it might be better for the borrower to look at a single premium MI. especially if the seller is paying part or all the buyers closing costs.

Your demand can be oral, but it's better to do it in writing.
