But, to your question, you can forego the expense of a title search and access all of the lien details by paying a leisurely visit to your county court house.

The cost of these people is in preparing the paper report that can drag them into court.

The rule also provides that the unlicensed individual performing the permitted activities listed in this rule must work under the supervision of a broker and his/her compensation must be primarily on a salaried or hourly basis.Under this rule, the duties an unlicensed employee can perform when working with residential rental property are the following: maintenanceclerical or administrative supportcollect or accept rents and/or security deposits which are made payable to the owner or real estate brokerageexhibit or show residential rental units to prospective tenantsfurnish published information regarding the propertysupply applications and leasesreceive applications and leases for submission to the owner or broker for approvalThe rule provides that an unlicensed employee may not perform the following duties: negotiate contracts or leasesdeviate from the rental price and/or other terms and conditions previously established by the owner or broker when providing information to prospective tenantsapprove rental applications or leasessettle or arrange the terms and conditions of a lease on behalf of the owner or brokeroffer inducements to prospective tenants unless they are previously advertised or arranged with the owner or brokerinterpret or provide their opinion concerning the terms or conditions of a leaseindicate to the public that he is in a position of authority which has the ultimate managerial responsibility of the rental propertyIt’s clear that a brokerage employee can perform many clerical and administrative functions without holding a real estate license.

@Doug Pretoriuscc @Douglas DowellI agree with everything you just said.And you need to get ready for court, always, in case a TBer or Seller gets an attitude and wants something not contracted for.IMHO, sub2 and wraps need training, and need solutions for funding if the loan gets caled due to DOS clause.Sandwich lease options can be done with excellent communication and coaching of TBers with Mortgage Qualifying.Lease Option Assignments need "under promising and over delivering", keep and eqe out for how things are going.
