Has anyone hired someone on payroll to oversee their personal portfolio?  

Hi there,

In my personal opinion, that's kind of the way wholesaling is able to work though.

I am thinking Des Moines may be a good place for me to start for some personal and professional reasons.

As a person who has purchased hundreds of mortgage notes (non-performing and performing) and done many seller finance deals let me tell you if this was the case wouldn't all banks require the buyer (their borrower) to get such a deed so that if their borrowers do not pay then they don't have to go through foreclosure.  

Otherwise it’s families/friends/partner/sell stuff/personal loan/borrow against something else or see if someone will do a 2nd for 10%. 

They'll let you know if they have a product you currently qualify for, or what you'll need to do to qualify.Anecdotally, I feel like personal residences are very easy to qualify for.

Talk with a tax person.  

Also we need to keep investigating about how can the interest and expenses can be deducted from filing. if you can share some of your experiences would be great. 

You won’t be doing any background check on anybody living in your property, that’s for the person screwing you to do.
