Many are legal, some are probably not so legal, some are probably specifically prohibited - so for sure you need to speak with an attorney about your strategy before you dive in.If my memory serves me right, it's what armando built his first guru program on - maybe it was his hair, or his smug attitude, or it was just him... but everything about the "subject to" thing rubs me the wrong way.The entire concept, i believe, really is way beyond a basic or straight-forward deal, and also puts your client in a fairly precarious position where the note could get called at basically any moment, and if they can't pay off the note (which they can't, hence the agreement to the subject to) they just defaulted and are now facing foreclosure - In fact, I witnessed this exact situation today on a $12mil note that got called in UT county.

We've worked with David Rand (Rand Law Group, LLC) two multi-family deals in Boston and we've been happy.My partner has worked with Stephanie Caponigro (CAPONIGRO LAW, LLC) with a few of her clients and she recommends her.Hope that helps. 

I would first suggest, in the interest of your client/friend, that your find a local office tenant rep broker and refer the deal to him/her to run point on negotiations with the landlord.

Hi BP - I have a possible client referral for a Spokane real estate agent that would be savvy to help a first time home buyer purchase a small multi-family he can house hack.  

A client of mine owns them all and wants to sell them off in one deal, so I'm just trying to come up with a fair price.

I'm a financial planner that generally advises against SD IRA's to hold real estate when the client can purchase directly in their own names.

Not every client will be able to use Apple Pay if they're not an Apple user, but I think it's a great thing to have in your arsenal.Charge the deposit up front and send it as a refund after check-out.AirBNB collects the funds at the time of the reservation, and disburses them to you the day after the guest checks in.  

So i lease the home to the agency, they pay me a contracted set amount and then they gather the rent from the clients..

I discuss this with clients ALL.THE.TIME. 

I know this is AFTER you are already done with a client (since you work on the front end of the loan), but if you contact the loan servicer holding your note and ask them to remove mortgage insurance (knowing that values have increased), they often refer to Zillow to give you an answer.
