.• That the grantor/mortgagor was insolvent at the time of the execution of the deed.An estoppel affidavit (executed and acknowledged by the grantor/mortgagor, attesting to the fairness of the transaction, the consideration exchanged, the value of the property, and other factors showing an intention to make a genuine transfer) or a recital (inserted directly in the deed) are supporting documents used to forestall challenges to these transactions.State law and local title standards must be consulted in regard to the consideration and treatment of deeds in lieu of foreclosure.What a GREAT post!   

You'll be able to spot out a real one from a fake.

While qualified dividends get preferential tax treatment, real estate offers:Depreciation deductions1031 exchangesCost segregation opportunitiesHome office deductions for your management activitiesAnd more!

What I want to say in short is; you can't fake it in commercial, you got to have the cash, and if you don't own any cash, become a syndicator for wholesaling, if you can make it rain by finding off-market properties, there's money looking for that, including an end -user.But like Joel Owens said; this isn't 2009 anymore, I was in it and remember it all, it was a unique time, that's not really happening now, and I don't see it happening again.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

As someone mentioned, the only thing passive about real estate investing is the tax treatment.
