If not, then what he is trying to do is to avoid his reputation going down the drain and lose any future credibility and trust in the future. personally I am just familiar with the basics of buyer seller representations in a general sense you will need a FLA Broker or Attorney to describe to you based on the documents you have if there is a Duty from the agent on this transaction..

I would get an attorney or title company involved to create your loan documents to ensure they comply with the law and cover all the aspects you need.Another method that is likely your best bet to take on investors is to create a joint venture (JV).

However I haven't found any clarification on this aspect yet. 

I might have to hold off renting till next month to avoid the scraping of a tenant off the bottom of the barrel last minute.  

Unfortunately, some renters will say anything—even things that make no sense in an alternate universe—to avoid responsibility or financial consequences.

I would avoid any tool that charges 1% of booking revenue as payment.

People will forever say “avoid Detroit” or good luck cash flowing…. 

But then their is the real world aspect and they just don't pan out.  

Definitely tread carefully here to avoid any discrimination claims!

And funny enough, that's what so many are trying to avoid; time, energy and focus.
