Dealing directly with an owner you may then be able to find a deal where you can use creative financing such as owner financing. subject toGood luck

Do you frequently require subcontract and vendor engagement (lawn care, snow removal, building maintenance, management company etc.) and if so, do you sign contracts and require that you are listed  as additional insured on their insurance policies? 

Okay coming back to my subject of the post, “Murthy’s law prevailed”.

If I can learn to market to out-of-state home owners, I can then see if any are interested in seller financing (or subject-to) type sales.  

If this is the case, you could utilize a strategy called "Subject To."

Thank you for the input, please guys I am not whole selling anything. just bringing buyers and help them with the deal, I am underwriting the deal making sure numbers work for them, advising potential problems, provide market inputs, giving advise if forming syndication, negotiating deals via subject to when needed so I am not acting as a regular real state agent who does not do any of this. 

They would like to keep the timeshare as they are reaching a point where they want to take more frequent vacations and it would help cover the cost of those trips.

Hi @Tyler TomasAn appraiser can do a Subject To appraisal where they give you the AIV (As Is Value) and the ARV (After Repair Value).

To answer your question about raising rents it depends if it is subject to LA Rent Control or not. 

If you use rento-meter pull a pro report and look at the map of where the comps are and be cognisant of which neighborhood your subject property is in.
