You might use the TREC and give possession prior to closing under terms of a leas incorporated and extend the sale contract.

No, no waivers) The county and cities mentioned require about $200 each, and then there are the costs to incorporate or form an LLC.

At that point I decided to back out of the whole deal and just write the inspection as a sunk cost, due to the magnitude of the problems and the unknown nature of costs to repair.

So buy as low as you can and don't wory if the house value goes down in the next few months, as long as you can keep it rented...if you believe in the cyclical nature of an economy, then you must also believe that house values will eventually appreciate, especially with the coming-soon-to-a-theater-near-you inflation.

I don't think it's that, I think it's people are too used to corporate life and aren't used to the efficient nature of real estate investors when they bear down and get to work.

Must be incorporated.

The reason I prefer to use an option contract over a land trust in a short sale, is because the seller is a natural person.

You can file a DBA or assumed name with the county normally but really your name isn't going to have much protection until you formally incorporate it into an LLC or other entity.

You can drop me a line to work this out if you like at [EMAIL REMOVED], It can be incorporated into a swap agreement.

Maybe there could be a way to incorporate the already in place Company Directory somehow?
