We allow up to 4 members in an LLC.We also offer interest only and Arm's.  

In addition to being free, title databases are also one of the most complete sources you can find; this is both an advantage (since they include sales not made through the MLS), and a slight challenge (since they also include inter-family and other non-arms-length sales which don't help for most price research). 

Since this is a "non-arms length" sale, it will get extra scrutiny.How is this helping your parents?

Sometimes the reason a home becomes a pocket listing is because the home owner explicitly does not want their home publicly listed. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Any insight greatly appreciated.Here in FL there is a lender I've used based out of Jacksonville that can actually do 100% financing for a non warrantable condo (owner occupant only) with options of either a 5 year or 7 year Arm.

From my understanding not all RE brokerages have a MF or commercial arm... they are geared more towards residential single family houses.I joined a team that specializes in multi-family and commercial property.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Ask to speak to a commercial loan originator. 30YF will typically not be around, ARM with a 20 or 25 year term is what to expect.

I have a local lender who will give me a 5/1 ARM on 80% of the LTV.The only thing he needs is a lease to ensure “proof of funds.”
