She tells me "SHHH  they are having a party.  

I always thought that the assumption of mortgage meant that they essentially replace me as the initial party paying off the mortgage and now they pay the monthly payments and have the title.

I guess I am late to the party.. anyone else work with Chris on a "positive solution" yet? 

Ones located in Greensboro Nc and the other is located in reidsville Nc the fees I see on this soft quote are: origination fee, underwriting/processing fee, 3rd party closing costs, 6 month tax impound, 6 month insurance impound, looks like 11-12k in fees alone.

If you are truly acting as a real estate broker and bringing two parties together then IMO you would brokering real estate without a license. 

If you truly want to protect yourself against STR regulations and ensure the value of what you purchase can be transferred (this last part is important) only buy where these three principles apply: (1) the use is allowed, (2) the use requirements are protected by in place permitting and licensing and (3) the permissions are transferable through a sale.

Depending on the lease and receiving the death certificate send the check to either "the estate of XXX" or if Dad was also on as a financially responsible party I'd make it out to "Dad, or the Estate of XXX" so he could deposit it himself.
