When someone else is on ownership (or deed/title) then they would need to sign a couple of things at closing to give permission for a lien to be applied to the property they own - but that doesn't mean that HAVE to be on the loan. 

These lenders can be an excellent option for quicker access to funds if you're ready to move on to the next property.

Forget about the late fees and payment plan, you'd be lucky to find any judge who would enforce it when the tenant showed they weren't even living there any more and were still doing their best to pay off the balance.
