One other method that I have used is to call several of the local Property Management companies, explain to them you are potentially buying a property in the area, and ask them what they get in the properties they manage.

I look at things this way, if a tenant has renters insurance and the owner has homeowners insurance in the event your home burns down the tenant isn't placing a claim on on the structure and getting a paid for it.

Another great book that could help you figure out which tasks could be assigned to VA's is "The E-Myth Revisited".The premise of the book is to help you structure your business to work "on" your business instead of "in" your business.

Could you advise me on how to structure a deal where there are four partners but one partner will do all the work.

If 95k is owed and you offer 75k the bank will likely tell you to shove it.The second method would be to buy the tax lien.

I'm wondering what's the best way to structure this?

If you are looking at a loan level purchase or even a small pool, what methods do you use to determine property value before making an offer?

If someone decided to take on a partner, can you help me with some brainstorming as how to structure the deal(s)?

Some stuff like demo seems easy until you cut through a electrical line, pipe or cut a structural member of the building.Get a good contractor that will show you how to do things and learn as much about the trades as you can.

Many of these borrower have paid attorneys structuring their entities although most are trust vs LLCs or corps.My point in bring up the assessors office is that maybe servicers view a "sale" similarly and I referenced the details.
