I live in Maryland and the property is in New York, not really practical to move to New York just for a house haha.

We are practically family!!!!

Hi Sam, there are a number of relevant comments here - in particular around laws and regulations of non-related parties.  

It's a slippery slope but i see it occasionally.You'll have to decide what her value is if she's not holding Money, it probably depends on the type of properties and what you pay her.Each state has different regulations on this.Good luck,Christian

hey BP, was curious about the possibility to use notes to finance deals. is this something that is practiced commonly?

Clearly if you want to destroy an entire industry, you should hire me right now and then practice your evil laugh until the market, inevitably, crashes.)After more than a year without full-time work, I'm in no position financially to start investing in real estate...but I'm planning ahead.

Practically speaking, you should at least call the various government offices that may have information about liens.

All that information, however, is useless without putting it into practice.

I am of course trying to find my state's specific regulations, but I thought I would throw out the question to the BP community.
