If your property in DC becomes owned by an LLC, you will automatically become subject to rent control. 

If option 1 is not possible, does anyone have any ideas on how I could navigate this to still get a great deal?

They can help you navigate these complexities and find the best financing strategy for your investment goals.

Could this possibly be caused by an identity theft?

I am also not going to assume it will turn out well and not have myself covered in case the partnership needs to come to an end.

Im 23 and will continue to work until 30-35, and by then I would be able to either continue working BY CHOICE rather by necessity. 

Hi, I have a duplex near Newark NJ that I purchased 4 years ago under my name, and have since turned into a rental a couple years back.

By CLTV I mean (1st + 2nd)/Value.

Purchase price: $440,000 Turn-key wrap deal at 0% interest!

in the future ( since its obvious you dont believe you owe a fee for this neighbors purchase) A Savvy seller will exclude certain people companies entities from the listing agreement.. there by making it clear that if someone you know or have been talking to decides to buy you owe no fee..
