Maverick simply gets a referral commission and has no long-term ties with you or the local provider. 

FSBO sellers who had a difficult time screening the buyers. 2) Home Pricing Errors. 3) Negotiation challenges.I think it take a special buyer's agent to complete a deal, from contract to close, with a FSBO listing on the other side of the table.If you have worked a FSBO transaction (either representing the buyer or ultimately the seller who list the property after attempting a FSBO deal), SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE!!!

I equated it to a property per year simply because in the Denver area it's very difficult to find cash-flowing deals that make the investment worth it, so I figured I'd be looking at several properties to reach my financial goal. 

The only lawyer fees they'll charge are for actually filing the eviction.But just FYI, in Colorado any you need to demand/notice a tenant, someone who is legally answerable (ie owner or manager) has to make two in-person service attempts on different days.

I can get regular financing, but was attempting to keep myself liquid for the renos. 

Realtor Associations attempt to force their broker members to require all their sponsored agents to pay for the services they offer. 

Titan was able to track the funds to verify that the second attempt did in fact go through (with no need to try for a third time!)

Most investors focus on what can they buy now with their available capital instead of simply what is the best investment for their capital without limitations. 

@Chris Johansen I believe the part you're missing is you are not "simply loaning him money" under the new iteration of your partnership arrangement.

As long as you specify the bank name, address, and interest rate in the lease, you're meeting the legal requirements.To avoid the hassle of having to have the tenant sign the lease twice, you can simply leave the account number blank in the lease and note that the deposit will be held in a specific account at a designated bank.
