Jonathan, I am not asking for legal advise, I said advise, without the word legal. 

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

The "due on sale" clause (DoSC) obligates the seller to notify the lender if the property is sold.Failing to do so would place the seller in violation of this agreement, giving the lender the right to accelerate the loan.But no laws are being broken here.So, subto is neither legal nor illegal.Second, it only works because most lenders are more interested in receiving payments than in invoking the DoSC clause and foreclosing on the property.But, it can work, provided seller and buyer are both on board and the proper process is followed.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I'd love to attend these meetings. 

Hey I’m going to investorMeetups and I’m meeting wholesalers.

Any idea how much legal help would cost?

Pay special attention to #4 and #5.An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

Only screen applicants you are serious about and screen your top applicant, if they come back meeting your criteria, don't screen any of the others.

I am there vetting GC's, researching investment properties, and meeting with agents.
