@Maugno M.How about notarizing a copy of the lease instead?

What you really need is a notarized 'satisfaction of mortgage' from the lender to get the house and keep that lender complicating your deal.  

If not, are you doing RE as a hobby ?...

Also FYI, if you hire a realtor to do tenant placement for you or do it yourself, Nevada law (AB 161) says the lease is not valid unless it's either notarized and includes a related disclosure, or signed by a permitted property manager. 

Yep, they geodes them to you, you sign and have some documents notarized, Fed ex them back, wire your money.  

Finally, get releases of lien before paying anyone. i.e. contingent releases allow for them to give you the notarized doc but it not be any good until they get their money.

I have the same deal with a friend and we just write it down and both sign it and have it notarized at our bank.

@frank youngDo I need to record the promissory note against the title officially using a title company or is a notarized agreement typically enough for most private lenders?

Typically extra costs you will see would be flights to come to the us to set up banking, trips to a us embassy to have items notarized, and additional tax prep costs.Just some general points to consider.

If you want to notarize it there are mobile notary services and individuals that will get it done and send to you.
