I put all of their names on 1 lease, though give them the option to pay their portion separately, always take 1.5 months security because college students love banging counter tops, throwing beer bottles, and tossing each other into walls after 2 shots of gin.Students typically get their refund check end Sept-ish, I give them an option to pay Fall semester Sept-Dec (4 months) and spring semester Jan- May (5 Months)  up front, with no discount. 

Hi my name is Harry and I live in the NYC tri-state area and I was wondering if becoming a sales agent a good way to start in this field?

Any answer other than close on the property themselves is what gives wholesalers a bad name.  

This means the title transfers to you but the mortgage stays in the seller's name until you pay it off.2.

I hear good things about lots of up-and-coming cities (Indianapolis IN, Mesa AZ, Madison WI to name a few), but I know nothing about those markets, the culture of those towns, the good and bad areas, or even how to find a good property manager over there. 

I got an 📧 with those two names.

I don't know why I click, probably because I saw John Warren's name, but I am glad I did click - amused :)

The situation is this: My Grandfather passed about 20 years ago and left his estate to 4 children, uncle1, uncle2, aunt and my fatherThere are multiple properties/parcels (6 total) in the estate that are co-owned by the 4 siblings, all 4 names on the deeds.Uncle1 defaulted on his personal mortgageLien holder(bank) repo’d his home but home was underwater, and thus still owed beyond the repo.Lien holder found out about the shared/partner assets that uncle1 had with siblings and decided to go after themI'm not clear on the exact process, but I believe the bank will take possession of uncle1 (1/4) share in the partnership properties then will legally force the 4 way partnership to be dissolved through a court proceeding.The other partners or another investor are able to buyout the bank owned (1/4) share at an appraisal price.The appraisal is filed with the court so there are no shenanigans with valuationIf no buyout then the whole property goes to sheriff saleTwo of the parcels are rental income farmland, these are the ones I'd be interested in investing inNobody in my family nor my grandfather are/were farmers, the acreage has always been rented outI’m trying to determine whether I can buy out Uncle's1 share from the lien holder bank at the appraisal price with an IRA LLC and become the 4th partner?
