Hello,Trying to help my sister & brother in-law find a buyer's agent with a good knowledge of huntington woods area. 

Depending on the investor's net worth, they may be required to meet the requirements of a sophisticated investor as defined by law in order to participate in your offering.

If there is a movement to write a law,  clearly in my area there are Realtors willing to violate the Code of Ethics.  

You are required to know the laws that govern your business.What you can do depends on their existing lease.

The class lasted 2 whole days and passed on pretty current information and in Texas you were not suppose to hide any relevant information that may effect the value of a property and I'm sure every state was the same with regards to laws that were supposed to be followed. 

It's completely law based but includes a ton of practical advice on how to market, screen, deal with late rent, serve notices, etc.

we use these in my house and my in laws.

That is especially true with the tax law change that went into effect this year; the standard deduction nearly doubled, so the taxes you save by itemizing might be much less than they were in the past (in other words, because you are getting a larger benefit through the larger standard deduction the "cost" of not having the mortgage interest deduction might be less).I can see an argument for there being better uses for your money than to pay off a mortgage with a 5.5% interest rate (if you can make an investment that pays at least 6% for example), but if your quality of life will improve because you paid off your debt and are now "financially independent" then that is what you should do.

The dream is to get a place where we can offset the mortgage with an in-law revenue stream.

Last, but not least I'd suggest speaking with a securities attorney in general on the investors' topic to ensure full compliance with the laws.
