His responses are comprehensive and non-judgmental--********** and Ryan are great too.

Note the ever increasing newbie introductions on this website.Another word of caution: Houston lives or dies by the energy sector.

I'd like to send a certified introduction letter that would either direct them to send rent payments to me if they are paying rent currently or offer to allow them to stay in exchange for rent if they were the former owners.  

By corrupting their access to that data, they are stifling the process of collecting comprehensive data.  

Also, look out soon I will be posting an introduction about myself if anyone is interested in getting to know me better :) Thanks,Gabriel

Or can I provide a generic OA that states I have signing authority to satisfy the title co. then change the OA later to be more comprehensive?

However, I would explain this nicely to the tenants during the introduction to let them know so that the notice would not be unexpected and they know what will happen if they pay late.Technique I've used with previous tenants is that I made myself as just a messenger from the owner, which makes me not really the same thing as owner since i'm just a lowly servant.

First post here :) I guess I should make this an introduction as well.

Not at all IMO, the initial contact was arising from a solicitation and the "known to us" is usually past business dealings,or an introduction by a third party you do business with, not a hand shake through an e-mail!

Lonnie deals are usually very skinny deals, not much money involved and buyers usually don't have a pocket full of cash for lending expenses, that's why I was saying it's probably not worth the effort.While I'm "working on" a couple of ideas to address the issues, the SAFE Act is very comprehensive in that it states that "any transaction or arrangement that effectively provides financing" (or very close to that) is covered.
