Doing a U & O isn't about being a mean seller, it's about protecting your own interests and not wasting all the time you have on this deal just to say in the end, "I don't want to be mean."

It’s not a big deal just additional costs and paperwork to make sure everything is done legally and everyone is protected and have received and signed proper disclosure documents.

I'm intending to use insurance (homeowners, landlord, umbrella) as my risk mitigation for the time being so, while I know there are a lot out there who are going to recommend an LLC for legal protections (and I will hear them out), I'm mostly interested in what will be the best way to begin marketing under a business name. 

No one is going to wipe your butt or protect you. 

Get out of your comfort zone and start talking to the players in the game, create meaningful relationships that provide mutual value. 

Hi @Terry Harris after inspection depending on what come up I first touch base with my attorney to discuss best approach, he will make sure I am protected during the attorney review phase for items that come up during inspection. 

They use google voice, the use fake or texting apps to shield their phone numbers etc.My question is has anyone else come across this and have you put any safe guards in place to protect property or potential resident from the scam?

It has taken some time to get the right players in place, however, once we got the formula right, we are moving forward with our plans.

On really huge properties sometimes bridge lending is available for an additional 10%, but we're talking about institutional players here that have significant liquidity and holdings to cover any issues.

Well I did get a cancellation because the baseball team players were told by their coach not to travel out of state.
