It is usually not practical in part because of what you bring up but also the amount of time it can take to get financing can be longer than the time to close. 

Should I go ahead and list them now even though I would not be able to sign a lease until I close on them?

I chose to do this even though I had no legal personal responsibility for their losses.

Those are legal issues, not tax issues, and renaming the relationship does not protect you.If it actually worked the way the guru claims, I'm sure every landlord in strict markets would already be doing it.

The lease included one of the 10 deadly sins and the landlord had to refund all rents received, pushing him to the brink of bankruptcy.We use a lease and related doscuments from Wisconsin Legal Blank (in Milwaukee), they have been court tested for decades and get continousley updated.

Quote from @Anne Connor: Hello Everyone,I’m trying to buy my first legal 3-unit in Chicago using the 5% down conventional owner-occupied program.

Legal Access (recorded, not assumed)I’m seeing tons of parcels advertised as ‘road access’ even though there’s no recorded ROW.2.

You're right there that's not a single platform that does everything but I feel like Baselane comes close to it.

But the spouse/partner isn’t screened by anyone, and that is where most landlords get burned.Here’s how most experienced MTR owners handle it, and what I’ve seen work best:Screen them as a household, not just the nurse.If two adults are living in your property, they’re both legally responsible for rent and for whatever happens inside the unit.

There is a legal difference. if you mess that up, that will get you sued.Third, in the last couple of years, new restrictions have been added in certain states.
