You have a lot of options, you just need to execute your plan correctly!

Account executive at one of our lenders told me its because they keep getting sued.

But it's a much more powerful vehicle for both the sponsor and the investor when properly executed.

What a great place to be... and very doable achievement with a well thought out and executed plan.Regarding remote turnkey rentals... watch the hype.

Prepare for the grind you don't just show up and win, you need to have a strategy and execute it.

Hey Team Bakersfield, I'm buying FSBO home from a friend who is an extremely low risk seller and its been challenging finding an agency who will execute a transaction without forking an extra $2k on an owner title policy.

It's not really a gift as your MIL expects and intends to receive the money back.Generally, a clean way to structure it would be you and your wife execute a promissory note with your MIL. 

@Mark Leclair I think we were posting at the same time, but from reading your last post I would definitely fix it up as you live there if you have the funds and are comfortable doing the work yourself and/or are comfortable managing the project. 203k really only makes sense numbers wise if you are buying a property that is otherwise not financiable and you do not have the means or knowledge to execute.

If so, he may have an executed Lease.

It sounds like this buyer has a properly executed sales contract the Seller is trying to back out of improperly.
