I do know that there's a website that will facilitate loans for people, like betwen family members and friends.

You could disclose it on the HUD, place it as a fee on the Buyer side(short facilitation fee is perfectly okay) and likely be okay.

When I do get a tenant, do I have to do anything to facilitate getting their utilities turned on -- or does the tenant take care of all that themselves?

IObviously the 1031 facilitator will have a function in the deal I’m just not sure of what prior to the funds being received after close of escrow.I realize I’m rambling but I hope ya’ll can see the problem I’m facing and can offer some advice or strategies that will get this deal of high center.Thanks in advance.dgsaz

You can look for a buyer here, we have some Cali folks that might be interested.I understand that this is a commercial second and that you are acting as a facilitator, you might check first with Cali laws and ensure you can do so without any license requirement to ensure you get paid on the arrangement.

If you have any agreement of any kind whaatsoever that requires any payment of any kind that is applied to any sale that ultimately facilitates the granting of title, that agreement is an installment sale.

Has anyone tried http://www.realestatesqueezepages.com to facilitate building a buyers list??

My thought with the title was that I wanted to explore options and evaluate POS for accessing some of the equity in my rental to facilitate acquiring another property.

If just one, you're a transactional broker, not a leasing agent, and you can't advise on either side, you simply facilitate the deal, brokers have ethical issues with this in putting someone in an installment contract and not being able to advise and additional liability.If someone puts a chunck down for an option and they can't get financing, say at the end of 2 years due to problems that should have been avoided, the broker becomes an easy target as well as the agent.I like options, the key to doing them successfully is knowing how to get the buyer financed at the end, not just putting them in a house, the deal is not done until title changes hands.

So I feel a little urgency along with my excitement about finding a good brokerage/broker to shepherd me along, allow mls access, get 100 new colleagues, and facilitate me collecting some commissions.
