Florida is notorious for foreclosure scams and modification scams.I was wondering, however, if any one has had any experience with approaching a distressed homeowner with the following proposal: If they don't want to do a shortsale, and they have little to no equity in the property, I would be willing to take over the deed and the mortgage.

Ask him what the yearly requirements are you need to follow so you do not pierce the corporate veil in MO.

I tell all my tenants and applicants that I have 2 rules that if they follow, we will have a great relationship. 1) They pay on time. 2) They never lie to me. 

Some options there are to One:  follow properties posted on various sites and follow the posting back to the listing company and ask how to register on their list. 

House hacking may be your best bet to build equity, and maybe refi to pull funds or continue to save and put yourself in the best position a year or so from now to make the move to strictly investment props!!

In general it favors the tenant - pretty much in every aspect.I still invest in Chicago, but I know the rules and follow them so to me it isn't a big deal

I am very conservative and try to follow the 50% pretty closely but even if I stretch a bit the deals just are not there on 15 years. 

I have been trying to sell my rental property and for the past few years but the market price keep decreasing where my mortgage owed = market price, currently almost no equity in thereI've considered/ tried following: - conventional way using realtor - even though seller's realtor willing to take less commission, no guarantee that buyer's realtor is willing to do it as well.- agreement for sale/ rent to own - fail because tenant buyer defaulted.- no fee/ low fee realtor brokerage (commfree, 1% realty etc.) - actually they charge more than what it shows in the ad.- direct marketing through kijiji, facebook, reach out to my real estate investor friends for direct sale or another rent to own - this is what I am doing now.- 1% fee realtor website (bodecanada) - this is pretty new and I start to put my property there- rent out to tenants - this is what I am doing nowMy property is half duplex with illegal walk out basement suite so I rent out upstairs for $1200 and basement for $700.

In your case, if you want to borrow using one of these agencies, then you have to follow their rules.
