Ideally, over time, I'd like to purchase enough properties to generate a reliable income as well as secure some retirement/vacation home $$$.Looking for tips and tricks here, friends.

If you're looking for value and reliability and a guy that will show up and answer my phone when you call and respond when there's an issue and you don't mind paying a little bit more.

I'm looking into transferring title to ourselves, and keeping the property under an umbrella (to limit our exposure) but not sure if I can, and of course the bank could always call the loan.I've talked to a few banks on equity loans and/or line of credit.

Mechanic's liens, past due child support, judgments due the state or fines may have priority over the perfected security interest of any creditor in any forced sale.A lien does not transfer ownership, the basis for calling a mortgage or note due is not so much arising from the "due-on-sale" clause, it is a violation of the mortgage or note terms of keeping title free of encumbrances or in keeping debts created paid as agreed as such matters clouds title.

If you're going to eviction, take care of that first, then transfer the property and you can just make a new lease agreement individually.

Usually in a wrap there is also an amount of equity above the balance of the loan taken sub-2, it's still a credit arrangement made by an owner (or maybe a chain on investors, who knows).If you L/O is made to facilitate the transfer of title and having a assume that financing agreement, that's another extension of credit, and you're getting into a mess too.If I had to do these types of deals, I'd have the sub-2 to me with it being assumable to the next guy with me REMAING liable as a guarantor.

So from going back and reading my own post, it sounds as if I was looking for a reliable partner.

@Pavel Sakurets I'm a wholesaler in Dallas and have done both double closings (buy and sell on the same day) and assignments (transfer the contract to my buyer for a fee in lieu of closing). 

Can anyone recommend a reasonable/reliable handyman in Charlotte/Matthews area in NC?

even though the owner is probably out of the picture, the wholesaler maintains that properties purchased via sheriff sale will be transferred with a clean title to the new owner, but it might take some time after the close?
