I could be wrong, but that's my understanding...Jason, I'm sure you are correct, it only becomes necessary for others to comply with applicable regulations and law, by others, as with lenders, Realtors and closing agents, it's by involvement with other aspects of a transaction that the filing becomes necessary, to perfect a security interest, to evidence a sale for a commission earned or to close a transaction in compliance with ALTA.An example of not filing a deed is in connection with estate planning, where a deed might be held in escrow by an admistrator, by a will, where it could be filed after death.

Therefore in order to comply with the law, they will lend only to companies, and not to people.  

Even if you are, you really need to make an attempt to comply as closely as you can.Again, seller financing does not add value to a property.

I’ve talked to my tax accessor, code enforcer, and village to make sure we comply with zoning, taxes, and village rules.

Hi @John Cassel,From what I understand, syndication laws are federal laws governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),but must also comply with state laws.  

Doesn't matter that you don't own a property there the go around is then to file FOREIGN registration in the state that you own the property in to link and comply with the state you own the property in, you can do this after the fact. 

Things must be done Hud's way and hud's way only and many title companies refuse to comply therefore the property does not close

They were not thrilled that they had to move but complied.

5) I suggest having a large lease that covers everything and complies with all the laws, then explaining it carefully to the tenants to hopefully scare away any professional tenants.

I believe there are several others but it’s not in states we buy assets so we don’t stay up to speed on the laws in those statesIts not "illegal" in Maryland, the investor just has to be sure to comply with the Protection of Homeowners in Foreclosure Act.
