I suspect this related question may belong in the short sale forum, but in the case of a short sale, is it reasonable to expect the bank to pay for the title search?

Is that after considering all the sales related costs?

Michael, Yes, I am relatively new to this forum but not to Real Estate.

All things are relative with regards to any lease that is the so called "net" format vs those that are "gross" or "modified gross".The term net lease has been chopped up over the years to include "net - N", "double net - NN", or "triple net - NNN".N - generally refers to the actual property operational maintenance costs.NN - generally refers to the property maintenance and limited other costs, i.e. adding in insurance or RE taxes or some other limited set of items.NNN - generally refers to all associated property operational costs.For clarification a "net lease" means that the tenant is fully responsible for some or all of the property's operational items; On the other end of the spectrum is the "gross lease" which means that the owner is fully responsible for the operational items; "a modified gross lease" is a combination of the two and usually includes an expense stop for the tenant.Expense stop means the owner is responsible for all costs up to that point, i.e $3.75 per sf per year, and the tenant is responsible for the pro rata difference over that amount.

But if I do sign for the loan personally is there a way to get the property into the LLC with having the loan called or other problems related to transferring property?

I'm actually visiting some relatives in North Carolina now.

You wouldn't notice them because your mind is only on the look out for things that relate to you.The same thing can happen with cars.

Hello to all.To start off the new year right I thought it was time to join a forum, and after a fair amount of research, this is clearly the best site available.I'm a relatively new investor (a little under a year).

I have relatives in Columbus and thought that with a good team in place, it might be a good area to invest in, as it seems that the properties would provide decent cash flow.DedicatedLearner
