For my day job, I'm an analytics consultant so I've got a lot of experience with consulting pricing and contract terms.

You can still refi the BRRRR out to conventional if you 1. have a spot, 2. qualify, 3. it is in a single-member LLC in your name (consult your conventional lender on how they will want it structured... mine is OK with a single-member LLC). 

My background is in IT Consulting and I'm used to a Statement of Work that spells out exactly what is occurring in plain english with all assumptions and exceptions. 

It would also be a good idea to consult with a local landlord-tenant attorney and get their advice if you're unfamiliar with the process.)  

Consult with an attorney who specializes in the operation your moving into (REI) and in the legal questions at hand (asset protection and litigation). 

I'd consult with a local lawyer if you want to know for sure because the borrower has ALL the advantages in a usurious loan situation, and the lender has none (and is actually committing a Class A misdemeanor in your state). 

I'm a real estate consultant from Philly, so I cannot talk much about other areas you are interested in, but I can tell that Philly real estate market in general and rental market in particular is hot.

Stall until the very last minute with that cash.Next, you should consult an eviction attorney ASAP and explain the situation. 

Did they use a Tax Consultant?

I have a consult for Friday.
