These seem to controversial here, I have gotten different answers 1 do you have to have a brokers licence in NC2 the fee here in NC seems to be standard instead of percentage, so are we running title searches being that they are only done by Attorney's here?

If you don't know the buyers personally (enough so you can call and ask questions) strongly consider taking another directionFriends don't let friends do bad deals, listen we all want warm fuzzes when working with people but the reality is, your running a business. protect your self at all time - its not personal its business. be objective (AND THIS IS HARD) but houses, don't have feelings, wholesale fee's don't have feelings, title company stamps and legal paperwork have no feelings, if your the feely type get a hobby or pour your emotions in another venue. real estate (demands) you to be at the wheel, and be ready to face the ugly truth."

Other strategies such as sub 2 transactions, installment sale transactions, leases and lease option to buy arrangements can be devised with TIC.Comparing a sandwich lease or master lease, a TIC owner you do not have to worry about the seller selling first before you sell; you can pass title as an owner and executed sales contract through and screw with your tears a partner or you can have a "power to sell"On biggerpockets we have talked about the problems with wholesaling, not being on legal title before we market the property.

If I do end up owning the land, I could  offer to buy the MH from the  owner and have the title transferred to me... and if he says "no" then give notice to vacate, do eviction etc. as you outlined above , correct?

Don't let that affect your opinion of me though, I was born into it.Once you go the LLC route, you want liability coverage in the state where the property is located, and you want to title the property in the LLCs name.
