A few of us used to meet regularly but we havent in a while.

I think your ARV is comparing this to regular SFR’s outside the park.

Looking forward to interacting with everyone on here!

We work with out of state investors regularly - it can be done!

I kind of assumed that the title company could set up the 2nd mortgage with the monthly payments and calculate the principal/interest for a fee of course but when I called my regular title company they made it seem like I was talking a foreign language.Who handles the administration of your owner financed deals??

It’s made a great difference in how I interact with sellers during negotiations.

Most of the tax, insurance, and bank "experts" I have interacted with are not very advanced and get confused easily, unfortunately. 

I firmly believe househacking is one of the best ways to get started in real estate and we help people househack in MA pretty regularly these days.

If a lender thought they had to buy-pass the borrower and consult directly with the CRA, there is a declaration that you could be asked to authorize it (similar to what your accountant will have you sign so they can interact with the CRA on your behalf).  

And then follow-up regularly.
