You might have to find a small type catch all brokerage that dabbles in residential and small time commercial.These types of firms do residential and a few land sales and occasionally a small gas station or inherited type small building commercial.For the experts that only do one asset class the small deals like this do not make sense as they typically have a lot of (hair) on the deal meaning many issues to work through.

Maybe someone has had this same concern/issue when they were starting out and can offer some advice?  

There are also massive double tax issues.

Anyway, my strategy (exit as well) has been based off of them, so I am just trying to do my due diligence in establishing a relationship for not just this deal, but hopefully more to come.I would be the grantor/applicant and FICO is 775+ so getting approved is not an issue.  

I own my own washer/dryer & can get a microwave if I need to.Things I've had issues with:Tiny bedrooms, terrible lighting, and terrible leasing offices (apartment specific).Things to know:This is for my family.  

(since mortgage is not paid off i do not own the property therefor i cannot place property on section 8)Now i know what you are thinking, Decision 2 would be the best route to take, but unfortunately if i do that, i am more likely to have problems renting the property because of these common issues...1.

He's had a lot of issues trying to sell this property and now I understand why.

The issue I generally find is most new investors don't have enough deal flow that they tend to try and make prospective seller a "deal."  

Sounds like your recruiter has the ethics issue and wants you to remain an agent instead of encouraging you to grow.

Perhaps we could meet for coffee or lunch to discuss the deals you've been a part of and brainstorm some of the issues you are having with your processes and go from there?
