I paid them on performance and small salary.

If you've been attending and networking at REIAs and/or Meetups, you'll know who the performing buyers are (or wholesalers that know who they are and are willing to go in on the deal with you).Another thought - it's overpriced.  

And I love the hands-on healing aspect of massage, but physically can only perform a limited number of sessions (no leverage of time), while also running the risk of wearing myself down physically or energetically.  

The recording of the note assignment establishes the record of ownership, but it's really your operating agreement that binds the partners to performing from a financial perspective on the note after it has been purchased with regard to paying for expenses like professional services and such. 

I started at age 38... now we have two SFR and two duplexes free and clear plus one SFR and one eight-plex financed with conventional loans that are performing well within the perimeters of the 50% rule.

The previous owner will be of no help because it is not uncommon for banks to switch servicers to handle the non performers.  

OR you can get approved and inspected to perform them yourself in a room with locked file cabinet, etc.

A lien only makes sense if it's performing and priced less than 20% I think.

Kelly,In my experiance, if you have the money for a DP (20%) the banks will go ahead and count the rent on a property towards your income, otherwise you will have to show some track record for that property's performance.  

In many cases it would appear the cost of implementing the B-Dry system was not significantly cheaper than sealing and waterproofing the foundation from the outside - which is the better way to do it.Perhaps attaching the base plates to your slab won't make a real difference in the performance of the warranty.
