Do I put their name on the deed or do I need a lawyer or do I need to just notarize.

Do I need to have both parties notarize the bill of sale or the Statement of Ownership?

They wanted a notarized letter or bank statement with available funds which I didn't have.

One title company said JOHN & MARY would have to file notarized affidavits confirming the above.Does any of this make sense?

However, I would look to either have it signed by the tenant in my presence OR have it notarized (I have experience in this and having the tenant sign it in my presence saved my butt on one occasion).

If not, are there other specific regions or cities you would recommend us to research that provide strong cash flow in the current market?

Espero que você coloque um inquilino em breve.

If not, are they paying a late fee?

Any suggestions (humane as well as not) are welcome - please throw your ideas, but don't make fun.

They keep stacks of deposit slips for my people to pay rent, notarize things and ask how they can serve me better.
