So,Mike, you say that every deal you do, is usually arranged through seller financed terms?

And if we are shooting ourselves in the foot by maintaining this arrangment and not allowing someone like Madison to collect payments, i'd like to know why.You bring up a good point that it could get messy if there was a dispute, but are there any other reasons that we should consider?

You can add late fees automatically and there are no excuses for things like, arranging time to meet, or not having another check...

I'm looking to owner-occupy a fourplex (not yet under contract) and would prefer to arrange for financing ahead of time.

If this is a non- prohibited arrangement and thus allowed, how long does it take to set up the self-direct fund and do I use an attorney, my investment company Merrill Lynch or some other professional?

Are there any potential pitfalls or specific things I should do in regards to a lease with an arrangement like this?

The city has arrangements with the power and water companies to turn off utilities for illegal short term rental properties. 

Our cleaner arranged for a vetted friend to clean for her in her absence and then told us.

I will make arrangements to come by and go over the lease with you sometime next week.This new lease will provide you with important information regarding our company’s policies.

I will arrange a meet to get payment to cover cost of screening and take the opportunity to do more in depth personal interview before continuing with screening. 9 times in 10 by the end of that initial interview I will know what the screening results will show.
