Back Story:   I purchased a very nice Duplex 10 years ago. I really did not know what I was doing however I made it work. I  have lived on one side and rented out the other side, depreciating the rental side.  I do no...

I have a company who really wants to rent from my location and would be willing to sign a lease agreement prior to me building the structure.

What we’re thinking would be structured like this:Elderly mother currently owns the property outright.

@Sendhil Krishnan, Much is going be dependent on the structure of the entity that owns the property, the stated purpose when purchasing it (resale vs investment hold/use), type of improvements to date (entitlement only or actual on sites/infrastructure).  

There are ways to add to the capital structure to have the lender satisfied if the LTV is limited. 

Also while doing research on this topic I heard it's not illegal depending on how your contract is structured in the language terms.

Most trustworthy rental managers would also be able to structure a fee-based arrangement for a non-occupied property.  

The bank has nothing to do with it and no say so in the transaction or how its structured as long as they get paid in full.

And might pay more based on fee structure combined with JUST BEING ABLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE to get his $.Very few people know anything about CF.  

How do I structure these deals to be within the law?
