Most states do have what is called a “self-executing exemption” when it comes to notes secured by mortgages or deeds of trust.

If 76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, then everybody should be renting.

One of the Sellers is an American citizen on an extended stay in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg.

I have been using American Home Warranty and have been happy with them

Good Evening,I recently sold my first property and am trying to rough out some numbers to execute a BRRR strategy with the proceeds.

The bubble was not the American people's fault it was that of the banks.

The seller is unlikely to execute a lease, since the seller would be stuck in it if you do not close. 

It'll cost you upfront, but could save plenty later on in negotiations, mental stress, and project execution.

Realize, talking to some clerk at a PHA, you may well be speaking to a tenant in that PHA, employment preferences, so they may be speaking out of the PHA but they don't speak for the PHA, the only thing that counts are written replies by proper authority, usually the executive director or department head as authorized by the board of commissioners. :) 

Since there's nothing I can do about that type of risk, I'll focus on what I CAN influence.Diversifying geographically and amongst asset classesOffering multiple investment opportunities with differing strategiesEncouraging investors to invest in multiple offerings instead of putting their entire allocation into one (and to invest with other sponsors too)Understanding that risk increases when I stray further from my core competencies, which means I need to bring in expertise or take the risk myself with my own funds before accepting investor fundsRecognize that properties have flaws, and don't ignore them to make the deal work...if the flaws make the deal un-doable, don't do the dealWatch economic indicators to seek clues to future market conditions and react before everyone else figures out what is going onExercise discipline, don't get caught up in bidding wars that put your successful execution at riskDon't accept unsuitable investors--they must be utilizing risk capital.
