If you mean playing the assignment game without being a FL licensee that is NOT legal.

So if there is enough equity, then you should not need to bring cash to the table.With a seller financed deal you will want to make sure the title is in your name so that the lender can see you've owned it. 

Either for guidance and/or to exchange deals- You also want to network with the various tradesmen you'll encounter with your projects, like contractors, home inspectors, title companies, investor friendly realtors, hard money lenders (especially until you gain access to private money).

Brent, I've been in the game for some time.

However, when John Doe dies and his daughter Sally Doe, the successor trustee is selling; then it is referring to it as a trust sale.The trust sale refers to any property where title is held by a trust and the trustee (or successor trustee) of the trust is the seller. 

Be very careful when you are trying to structure things purely for tax avoidance.If you add your son to the title, you made a taxable gift to him. 

If it was my listing there would be a 100% chance that you have a short timeline from execution (not approval) to get these done.Everyone should know the true condition of the property and negotiate it, or walk away - early on in the game before months are wasted by both parties waiting for approval.

Since that time, I have watched more products being offered by GF, not just rehab loans anymore, but new construction, BRRRR loans, even notes of pre-bundled loans underlying them come into the mix of what an investor can purchase fractions of.I like the fact that the borrowers tend to have some experience, and skin in the game, and that the GF underwriters properly value these properties, and the fact that all these metrics and more are available for any investor to see. 

Just recently I had my title company call me and say a contractor contacted the home owners about a nearly 10k balance owed. 

I would contact a title company with this question.
