@Rob BlockAll interest payments have been received, with full return of principle on the first two. 

Second, definitely get YOUR lawyer to draw up the note/mortgage and any other needed docs, so that you are able to foreclose on the property if there's nonpayment.   

The reason was due to non-payment.To protect yourself as the seller, it is advised to make a payment and stay at least 1 payment ahead of your buyer at all times. 

(yes, this also describes me)* Investors who want to analyze prospective deals, quickly calculate mortgage payments and other expenses, etc.

Collect a reasonable non-refundable earnest money deposit up front (say $10-15K), and charge them above-market rent for the opportunity.

We did this all ourselves with our own funds for down payments. 

If you have equity the best way to start the process is to do a cash out refinance and pull out some cash to use as a down payment on the new REI. 

There are a very select few who will allow use of the entire lease or a percentage of the difference if the leases have been in effect and you can show payments received for at least 3 months...  

Here is a link to the Comptroller's guide to the non-resident withholding, which may have answers to your questions: https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/forms/current_forms/withholdin...If link doesn't work the document is called "MARYLAND'S WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS for Sales or Transfers of Real Property and Associated Personal Property by Nonresidents" which you should be able to Google.Good luck.

You're item c only matters to NON real estate investors.
