I agree with Michael, a house-hack is a fantastic introduction into real estate investing.

Paper applications typically come with a small paragraph where they sign saying it's ok.

By combining the two notes into one, you risk the whole thing.That is a big part of what happened to the economy, but that is another discussion.It is funny how everyone calls these seller financing notes "sub-prime" when they have the same requirements (see Marc's first paragraph) as the conventional notes.

You’re coming off rather lenient in the second to last paragraph, discussing the deck.

Hi @Cory Wade.I do know several experienced real estate attorneys who would be happy to tackle your complex transaction, but you should first determine whether the deal is worth the cost: Top-tier real estate legal expertise can be expensive to retain.If your deal will support the expense, connect with me here on BP and I'll gladly make a warm introduction for you.For the record, I receive NO compensation for making this referral.

Quote from @Ay Zed: California Civil Code 1950.5 includes the following:(2) Based on the inspection, the landlord shall give the tenant an itemized statement specifying repairs or cleanings that are proposed to be the basis of any deductions from the security the landlord intends to make pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (b).

That complete waiver removes that specific protection in Paragraph 2B of the Third Party Financing Addendum.  

Hi @Erik AndersonFirst let me say welcome. 2nd, this would probably have been better to post in the deal analysis area rather than the new member introduction page.

This may be a market specific issue, but in California the boiler plate forms (CAR Residential Purchase Agreement paragraph 11) will have an "as-is" clause built right in to the contract.

After a month, I finally did find an agent after my friend made a formal introduction. 2) I had two deals fall through after offers were accepted in the Wilkes-Barre region.
