Markets that are growing in population, jobs, rents, and income - leveraging both demographic and economic fundamentals - all helpful risk mitigation factors- working with syndicators who've either experienced or witnessed deals go south - syndicators who are savvy enough to be conservative in their projections, set aside reserves, have created realistic sensitivity analyses, have good banking relationships in place - investing with these types of syndicators, with a track record through ups and downs, helps to decrease risk.

Selling some real estate this year at record highs!

In 30 days you can pay  $50000 and find out ten other liens are recorded and it's worth nothing.  

This will be more for your CPA but if you keep a record this will look good to an UW as well if they ask for additional verification.Also, keep in mind that you'll have to show tip income for 2 years to qualify for Fannie loans.

The real goal of eviction (in my opinion) is to simply get the tenant out so you can gain control of the property and re-rent to a new tenant that will pay rent.If the eviction goes all the way (where tenant does not vacate, you get a Writ of Possession, the constable shows up and you/your crew remove belongings to the curb) the tenant will have it on their record for 7 years.

If so and you are the middle man in the deal, the only paperwork you need to be concerned with would be a memorandum of the option, and that would be recorded with the county.

@Robert KeelingA CPA versed in real estate should be able to guide you on your entity structure, bookkeeping, record keeping, and tax savings. 

I use stessa for financial records and my tenants pay for their utilities except for the bottom floor of an apartment building and I pay their water and electric for some. 

Tax returns, banking records to show income coming in and bills, rent, utilities going out.

Depending on the state, but non-community states, removing someone from a title can be as easy as paying $200-400, filling out a form, and having it recorded at the local courthouse...
