Hi there, I am in a bit of a weird situation and I am seeking advice for moving out so I will be as concise as possible.I recently moved to Seattle and my spouse and daughter are moving out this week to come up here but my landlord is conducting what seems to be funny business.

Just keep your fingers crossed that there are no claims on the title that weren't discovered when the last title search was conducted.

Brandon, my last two acquisitions were done through my Self Directed IRA and both closings were conducted virtually with all documents signed/transmitted electronically.

You are kidding, right.......really, I have a drawer full of unsigned contracts I'll assign to you, juts a hundred buck each, what a deal......Seriously, what would cure your confusion would be to begin with learning real estate and the flow of how business is conducted, then all the guru stuff would be much clearer, just a suggestion:)

The housing authority mails me checks, conducts inspections and the tenants have a little fear to protect what they have so they don't get kicked off there voucher.Frank

Secondly, the seller knows that you intend on conducting business thoroughly and with integrity and you expect the same in return. 

The basis of the question was to see what type of materiel I would want to use to spark the interest of investors. or what kind of materiel I should use to conduct my investor seminars I am currently am not an investor but I am learning through the book "Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and use that book as a spring board for my seminar presentations, but that is geared toward new investors. 

I'm prone to look at the KISS method in accounting systems, all activities conducted with respect to a transaction is much easier allocated when related expenses can be assigned to the income and asset valuation of that transaction.

You can assign a contract, but if you do several is will be viewed as conducting business, even if you take title, you're acting as a dealer.

Experience is the best teacher so take your time and decide on what area you will like to invest in and conduct your own due diligence, and seek professional council.
