Check with state laws as well!

It seems that it's too easy to mess something up when there's no consensus (opinion, law, history, rulings).

For the purposes of the NYC and NY state mortgage tax laws, a mortgage is any mortgage or deed of trust or instrument used to lien and encumber real property.

Studying for your license also gives you a good basic understanding of terminology, ethics, real estate law, title, etc.

Unless there is a law against it in your area, most municipalities will allow you to manage a property for a family member without being licensed.

State laws vary.

Since Mobile homes are cheaper, I thought I'd start by reading up and researching on buying one and flip for a Lonnie deal.It seems there's a new law that's in effect starting January 2014 and it seems the owner financing on mobile home flips are no longer allowed unless one uses a 3rd party lending company?

But in my 10 years working in law (and probates) we NEVER called you for advice.

The HOA will attempt, whether lawful or not, to get the new owner to pay the back fees or in order to establish an account.

Learn the law in your area.
