Essentially, we align homeowners with property managers who are willing to enter into long-term guaranteed income deals - so turning the vacation rental into more of a long-term investment property for the homeowner.

@Julia Fergo Google is always a good place to lookA Quit Claim deed essentially says: IF I have any rights in this property any rights I may or may not have are now yours.

(I put in 1,501 offers over the course of two weeks, which required that I essentially play hookie from my full-time job in academia in order to submit and follow up on all of the agents who responded to my initial offers.

If you do not wish to wait, then you would have to file a motion for declaratory judgement which essentially asks the court to make the same ruling.  

Essentially what an agent is doing would be a Net listing.

Can I pay for the service outside of my SDIRA so I can use that service for both my SDIRA and my other note or do I essentially have to have and pay for two CRMs in order to be compliant with SDIRA rules? 

It's not the end of the world.Postpone the sale, and have your title company, realty lawyer or yourself - speak to the local council to see what can be done to get rid of the lien.My lawyer has run into it a few times, and the county have worked with them to remove the lien, and many times they have - for the simple reason that a new buyer of the property will take care of it and sort out all it's issues - which essentially is what the county wants.Otherwise, the liens continue to rachet up, will never get paid anyway, and whoever owns the property simply abandons it, which is an expense not only to the county when they eventually condemn it (and remove it), but also a property they recieve precisely $0 each year in property tax once the owner has done a runner.It'll take a bit of time to sort out, hence postponing closing.

My two questions are, first, assuming I get this deal done, I am essentially "taking over their loan" which will still be in the owners name, correct?

This is not true for all funds as some sponsor raise numerous funds so it essentially ends up being the same thing.3) Reinvestment risk -  This does not seem like such a big deal right now because the industry is nascent but I think it will be.

Yes, I was forced into it, but I was essentially seeing the future and would have eventually made the move.
