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.

I am about to buy my first property in Ohio and I would like to gain as much information as I can in regards to the different legal issues of which I can face in Ohio.

I’m willing to put in the time and effort to learn and grow in this industry, but I could really use some guidance on where to start.

I’m all ears for any guidance, recommended reads, or war stories from those who’ve been down this path.

To legalize a curb cut in NYC, your first step is to hire a licensed architect or engineer.

It couldn't hurt to call a couple attorneys right away to see what they say in terms of cost and suggestions for dealing with this quickly.In terms of mitigating any legal issues with your tenant be sure you are documenting every conversation you have had with the HOA in terms of asking them to make the necessary repairs.

Maybe they've been burned by landlords in the past and are being very careful.You can legally reject them based on personality, facial tattoos, body odor, or other factors, but you better make sure you can prove that it wasn't based on any protected class like race, religion, familial status, etc.

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

I've seen landlords live in blissful ignorance for 5-10 years due to dumb luck, then their world comes crashing down and they lose everything.I have a book, there are some in the BP bookstore, or you can check out one of my personal favorites, Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO.
