I have reduced the rent by $200 a month as a winter-teaser rate till July, and will see how this goes:-) Sorry for not being able to thank each one of you individually -- I really appreciate you taking the time to help out a (frustrated) small investor! 

Hello BP.I have a individual that is interested in funding one of my projects as a private money deal, but they have concerns about the paperwork and tax documents being a serious hassle.

But I always have more contractors in all my houses than any one individual motel. 

my cousin said that before my aunt died she made her power of attorney and something else giving her authorization to sign on her behalf.

Note that if purchasing as an individual, a seller finance deal with a balloon is a big Dodd-Frank no-no.

I have not done so, but I have negotiated this with an individual as seller when the final walk thru (outside of the inspection period) revealed damage that had been hidden by the occupants furnishings during original viewing and inspection period.

The answer is that that is the only politically acceptable way to do it without charges of bias, profiteering, discrimination, etc.Ironically, the wholesalers are doing what the real estate broker can not do, using a net listing, pricing the product individually by time, effort and demand.
