@Michel Lautensack - There is no problem at all with having them notarized, and it could potentially save some headache down the road.However, if everyone is on board with the agreement, and wants it to go through, you likely don't need it. 

I'm new to RE Investing as well, and it's great to see someone ready to jump on board!

If ai can satisfy my reluctance I would “onboard” with them.

Unless someone has a sweet accounting gig in the commercial passenger airline industry, this is my choice for now.I'll welcome more advice and recommendations as I always keep an open mind to possibilities. 

Of course, I'm not sure what the rehab costs would be but if you own it free and clear, that may be enough skin in the game to have any lender come on board.

I wouldn't just go ahead and do it without her really being onboard .

Talking about the HELOC with my wife, she didn't seem on-board with the idea.

We still have faith in the properties and know we can make money if we have the right people on board. 

(If you develop a reputation of buying distressed properties and improving them, you become an asset to the community)Place ads on boards at Nursing & Retirement Homes: Frequently residents need to sell a house.Consider placing Door Hangers on target properties: You can also use pre-printed post-it notes to leave messages at target properties.
