We have also found several smaller local banks and credit unions in border areas (New England, the Rust Belt) that will make secured loans to Canadians.

HUD prefers 60 days, but mine can do 40 or so and be fine.I send a regular notice of rent increase to the tenant and e-mail their caseworker as well.

On the one hand you can see that on the day the transaction was completed they got all The money that was due to them based on the facts of that point, going forward they are not the owners of the house anymore so if we got a tax credit or a tax increase it does not really concern them, on the other hand you could say that they took the effort to do this and since that credit was applied to the year they sold the house they should have a prorated amount based on the months they lived in this house.The second question is why didn't the sellers lawyer contact us directly, as the lawyer we used for the transaction is not really working for us on a regular basis and is not our regular counsellor.

Hey @Tony Lin,  There's a regular meetup hosted in Milpitas at Parktown Pizza - it's a great group / venue, have you checked it out? 

For example, I can get 30 year fixed for 30 year financing for 10% down and decent interest rate (less than 6%) which would give much more security and better cash flow.

Yeah if you look at all the liar loans that were created during the last bubble and selling off the bad loans as mortgaged backed securities .

My questions are: Do I have to give my social security number to get them turned on?

The other tenant has been there years and will be evicted for numerous reasons that the previous owner did not care to address.I plan to fix up the property over the next few months and renew the existing tenant to a higher, 1-year lease and then search for a new tenant at market rate.Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I'd like some advice on where to start with a new thorough lease and forms to use since I want to secure a new lease with the existing tenant and will need to screen for a new tenant once I evict and renovate the other unit.I am considering to join the California Apart.

So many agents focus more on the regular old home buyer.... and that doesn't always translate to understanding an investor mindset.But to answer your question you are likely looking at this backwards.

Make the initial purchase personally under my name, secure financing under my name, then quitclaim the property to the LLC?
