I wonder how the closing process was completed when there was a lien on the property? 

It sounds like you are hitting all the big sites.

You can also expect that you will have a handful of paperwork to complete and receiving your 1st payment could take a month, as they have to enter you into the system and likely have set pay out dates.

Keep your licensing and permits in order, manage all vendor relationships with contracts and adequate insurance, maintain adequate insurance on your end and more generally operate your business soundly.

Fred, I completely agree.

As @Joe Gore  stated I've always believed as well that as long as you have a secured interest in the property (i.e. a signed purchase contract AND a Earnest Money Deposit) then it is completely assignable as all contracts are unless stated otherwise in the contract (A HUD 5.0 says you cannot which is why I never use one in my transactions).

This weekend, I'm dedicating 15 hours to complete the necessary requirements.

It sounds like you guys make a great income but I would never recommend buying a property you cannot afford. 

~J Sounds like a pitch bruhh

If you leave the brick alone that money goes into your pocket instead.Good Luck.Yeah painting the brick sounds like an ongoing expense.
