In a nutshell, a handyman and his wife (she was looking to get into the PM space) but when she found out what it actually takes to become an "official" PM (real estate license etc) she decided to do what you're describing... coordinating maintenance calls, delivering notices, filing papers with section 8, lockouts, etc. 

I am paid directly by a check in my name, there is no official business, and I do not receive a 1099 form from them at the end of the year.

By official count, there are over 90 distinct City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

This is an official letter that the eviction process has begun and they need to either pay or leave the property.

Then we lobbied Montgomery County to legalize them, which they did, and now we are lobbying them further to ease the regulations on them. 

You will also need a designated agent, they will establish a postal address for you in Pennsylvania for any official notices you receive.

So even though there was no "official" minimum period of them collecting interest, it sure as hell felt like it to that borrower, lo and behold we finally got it, and were able to close the refi, mysteriously right after the 12th month passed since they took it out, that must have been an "odd coincidence"... ahem.There are honest and forthright HML out there, to be certain.

You have no past working relationship with this code enforcement official.

Elected officials are more than likely looking to shore these up via RE transfer taxes and overall RE tax increases.

This document is required by escrow to officially switch buyers.
