Most companies will provide lease up only services for you.

Contracts for deed are being looked at more closely by CFBP because of predatory practices, but they are by no means illegal.4) What people are calling Sub2 financing can be achieved by 3 primary methods:Quit Claim deed where the seller has no recourse in the event of default but remains on the hook for the underlying loan.All inclusive trust deed (or wrap) where title transfers and the seller carries the note and continues to service the underlying debt.  

I'm also interested in REOs and distressed properties but I mainly like to hold the properties as rentals.

Mainly I am thinking of how to put the profits in each account to use sooner by combining them.

Not only did I decide to make real estate one of my main focuses of investing I also fell in love with how the system works.

Even after I approve someone I tell them until the lease is signed and I have the security deposit I do not pull the rental ads and I continue to consider the property available to other applicants.I have had, in the past, the unfortunate experience of having a lease signed and someone (a 100 percent service connect veteran no less)  ask me to wait until the first of the month to pay the security deposit...only to have him drop off the face of the earth. 

The owner, Chris, is phenomenal and if it weren't for the way he views customer service and the culture of the company I'm not sure I'd have taken a position in this field.  

It will also allow you to use a contract collection service, which I would recommend.  

My main focus is residential real estate by helping families sell their current home, buy a new home, all without having to rent in between or end up homeless!
