I won't disagree - there seemed to be conflicting information and incomplete information provided by the plaintiff (if you will).I'd like to think we're at the end of this thread now - I've perused all posts and am thoroughly satisfied with the explanations provided by Jeff & Jack.I'd messaged with Jeff on BP a few months back but am sitting on any potential business dealings until the wife and I have unity of mind regarding timing.

One idea I used on my fourplex (2 up, 2 down) with a small yard in the back to prevent conflicts (it was more dog interactions --not furniture/bars--for me): ) Put a small (3 foot or so) simple fence in the back segregating an area for each unit.

Hi all, I am confused as what to do regarding title.I am in contract and my confusion stems from my bank wanting me to sign disclosures that I will be using "their people" to pull title, but my lawyer wants me to use "his people" stating it will be  much smother and easier if there is an issue.He says it will be a conflict of interest for the bankI have a feeling that both of them are getting something in return by using "their people"I am not sure who to give the ok to at this point.Any advice?

As I'm learning about VA loan benefits, I have seen some conflicting information.
