@Joe Villeneuve Lol I could see that being an extremely frustrating situation on both ends and just end up killing your reputation before you even start.

Consequently, you have un marketable title to to risks from unknown parties potentially challenging delivery and acceptance.Tony F. the solution rests in your hands to devise a strategy for redistribution of risk. 

Lease agreements, management contracts, and proper bookkeeping are essential to avoid tax pitfalls and ensure compliance with gift and income rules.Bottom line: this is definitely doable, but there are several moving parts that could have unintended tax consequences if not structured carefully.

I would make sure that the lender you are working with is reputable and honest.

Thanks in advance 🙏🏾I am not a fan of gurus, mentors, counselors, etc. for money. find a well run, good reputation, current sober living unit and see if you can invest in it.

Hello my name is Chuck and I’m super eager to start my real estate investment journey, I’m working with a realtor and a lender and have viewed a couple homes one potential that me and my wife want to buy unfortunately this doesn’t meet the criteria for the one percent rule, in the beginning I reached out to a investor realtor in my area using bigger pockets which fell thru due to a family emergency on the realtors end I moved forward with a reputable realtor in my area but I’m really not sure if I should move forward the house fits our needs at the moment and it does involve a little sweat equity but no a lot to do it’s mostly done how do i navigate way I should do next should I put our families needs first and just sell after two years or rent out ultimately is what we are wanting to do, I will say I’m a little overstimulated with this process in how everything is going and how hard it is for my area to find that first rental investment that both fits our needs and our rental portfolio any advice would help and thanks 

We depend on them to handle cases accurately, because mistakes like this have real consequences for real people.

Remember that the less someone has to lose in life (money, family, career, reputation, personal pride), the less you can expect from them as a tenant.

Anyone know a reputable trade line company?
