It not only protects all the parties, it allows a wouldbe seller to get Full Price, if not more, while some else covers and is responsible for the payments and property.Regardless of the value of the property or what is owed on it, the THTTransfer™ allows someone else to enjoy the benefits of home ownership without the need for a Down Payment or the need to Bank Qualify for a Mortgage.

Do a drive during the day to see what they look like in daylight, and do a driveby at 8pm on a Friday night - because that's when the drug parties are in full flow.

Good morning @David Bruce,Texas law does allow for an agent to act as an intermediary between the buyer and seller, however, they must obtain written consent from both parties. 

Another possibility might be adding additional sources of income - renting out the common space/room in the office if you have one, to the tenants for birthday parties etc, vending machines, coin operated laundry, pet fees, pet non refundable pet deposits.  

I would think a site like that would be ideal for all parties involved in real estate investing.

In either case through, whether this duplex is a great or mediocre deal depends on the third unit.

@Ayodeji KuponiyiWhen you reject a tenant because of information from a criminal, credit or investigative report [investigative would cover income and employment verification through a third party], you must provide an adverse action notice, which has specific requirements.The law allows you to  do it verbally but almost everyone sends a letter.

@Nicolas Vinot  Welcome to the party!

Hello I have been listening to all the podcasts (in my car/office) but not said hello yet, i'm from Washington state, even heard Brandon in Poulsbo Wa (PODUNK WA) I have had a house under contract for some time now 6 years or so, when I paid the arrears I also took 6 months off to remodeled it , (never again, learned a ton though) I obtained it subject to existing mortgage, I sold it once Lease option, got it back, rented it out about three times, I repainted the inside (third time) last week put a FSBO sign in the yard and have sold it rent to own to a nice couple with $10,000 down and $140,000 sales price. ( I meet with them this Saturday) They have agreed to $1080 per month (I didn't say anything about interest rate but i think that is about 8%.

Consider the situation in which the owner of an investment property leases it to a tenant who decides to throw a big party, during which one of the tenant's guests falls over a balcony (this happened a few years back in Chicago when a deck collapsed).
