There is a common misconception that for something to be legally binding it has to be written by an attorney.

No equity no deal IMO.Get together with a RE Attorney to ask or get the correct paperwork suitable/legal for your area.Find buyers by networking with investors, agents, brokers, lenders, attorneys, craigslist, bandit signs, newspapers, etc, etc...

Hello BP,I figured the title was appropriate with all the legalization stuff going on here in the past day(s).

From what you've said, the only impropriety here is if the seller is getting any type of fee from the listing, or if the listing/selling agent is a legal part of the buying entity, and does not reveal it to the bank

Since you are having all the problems you should document in writing that the lease will not be renewed.

That document is filed in the Courthouse of the county where the property is.

After all of the documents were signed, I sent them to the RE/closing attorney who took it from there.

We did do that and we shipped the signed documents off to be notarized but it was during the holiday rush so it took far too long for them to reach the notary.

If the borrower fails to follow the plan, the BK plan is dismissed and the creditors can file and continue with legal collection means.

I am going to talk to my lawyer as well but I figured I would get some free legal advice from the experienced rehabbers first.
