Anyone heard or used Phil Smith private money broker/ program only info I see online looks like his paid sites no third party to verify.

Would it make sense to request another appraisal, which would be the third?

That would take the majority of the rest of my savings, putting me in a position where I then need to save another 20% down payment for a third property.What's the best strategy for making the most of the $52,500 left after my second property?

If you don’t have a broker license, you might need to get a third party involved if you have no ownership in the property.

The effect of recording is to provide constructive notice to third parties of the documents existence.  

You also have one tenants utility meters mixed with the illegal third unit.

She was renting her attic as if it was a legal unit but it wasn’t and she was forced to remove the third tenant. 

The second one and third one had to be 'reset' sporadically-every week or two.

Have an impartial third party do the diligence for you, obviously it costs you a brokerage fee but agents are local & will do the due diligence for you!!! 

From the very first one I show " you are the third one" or more if need be."
