If after they walk the property they like what they see and it all makes sense, then you'd have them sign the assignment contract and send that over to your attorney/title company.From this point on it would depend on who your attorney/title company is but it should be fairly simple.

After a few phone calls between the previous owner and my mother it appears she is clearly avoiding to hand over last months rent.

Though admittedly this is a very simple and rudimentary analysis.  

Is there a simple way to do that or do you set that up through an attorney?

That's five houses on 200 to 500k lots  LOL.. houses went away and we build new construction or sold lots.. its quite sad but all were owner occs none were tenants.. usually tenants get booted before they can get as bad as these homes were.. these homes were beyond salvage plain and simple.

With only one 1 rental property I want to keep it simple.

When we do get into to contact the lack of timely professionalism on simple request leads to more frustration.

A simple holdco structure with say two directors (you) with the real estate as the asset holding is known as a “single tier”.

@Imthiaz Ahmed just tell your lender what you want to do, it is simple.

I have sent out 600 yellow letters so far my hand is dead lol I have a solid list of 1,000 absentee 50%+ equity owners in my target zip codes, I will contact them consistently once a month for 6-9 months.
