Assuming it's the 2nd option & referring to your Q 5 (b): lender should not be loosing any money on your deals unless they are foreclosing on your flip and obviously they will never lend to you again. 

(main reason for that is trust) Lending on a AS company removes the strict personal limits. 

I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes that this is a promissory note, not a mortgage, and isn't technically tied to the house.I guess what I'm really trying to determine is if we can state that the loan includes the imputed interest and remove the tax liability away from the seller.

You just need to remove these folks off the list and omit sending to realtors and keep farming....

Your intitial post mentions: ""Owes= $24,000 (Charged Off but are accepting payments to principle)"If you can get that debt assigned to you then you are in the driver's seat and you have the right to remove the property from tax foreclosure in order to protect your valid lien, whether either brother likes it or not. 

That is plenty of time to do everything in your power to gain or loose confidence in this deal.

Removing the paper checks aspect has helped my operations a lot.  

Curb appeal in units is a marketing issue and it's a shame to loose a good tenant because the lawn looks like H***.  

They are all 3 bedrooms and need about 2k of work,nothing major but we also have been in the market for a while so we know when to act fast the last one I bought day 1 on the market it had 4 other offers and I removed all conditions.

All,I have a rat problem that has been in one of my houses for awhile, unknown to me and I have to get it cleaned up.One company I'm working with says I need to remove all the insulation, droppings, clean and treat and reinstall new insulation.
