As ive found out an unrecorded deed can still be legal in texas. i know its confusing but here is the chain of ownership.Owner 1(lady im talking to) sold subject to, to another investor.

Any recommendations on Banks who do not require in person verification?

I can tell you this, I will go toe to toe with anyone in this forum when it comes to drive and work ethic!

They passed all the background checks, income verifications and I just got a good gut feeling about them.    

Just have to be disciplined to get through the material by yourself :) which reminds me, I need to get back to it ... lol.I also bought an audio book (Florida Sales Associate Prelicensing Key Point Review) to listen to on the go to to refresh myself on all the chapters.  

I'd invest first, but do worry about income verification for a lender as well.

Is it just not an issue or would I be required to to lead abatement if they move out?

I'm proceeding with employment verification - bureaucracy takes a day or two.

Release all tension and thought Then feel your inner body from head to toe and quietly visual some specific detail about what you want to accomplish that gives you joy.

You'd have to figure out a fair "rent" to charge yourself and apply that to his portion to to be fair.
