  1. Welcome home, Mikey! Good to hear from you again. I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
  2. Glenn, an investor I know suggested this attorney. I don't know him personally but if you're still looking he's worth contacting: Stefan McHardy. His website appears to be updating, www.stefanmchardy.com. But I have an email address: smchardy@dsalegalgroup.com
  3. Hi, Glenn. Yes, I'm in Broward. And let me just say it's damn hot these days! I haven't done a subject to deal in quite some time, so I'm not able to recommend anyone to you. In general, I found that most attorneys in our area shy away from these type deals, due to the excessive litigation mindset of folks in our area. Are you finding this to be the case, as well?
  4. Hi, Glenn. 20 years?? That's a heck of a long break. What brings you back into the fold? I've been in this biz for about 25 years, starting in NY, then got into it in a big way when I moved to New Mexico, and have been here in FL for 19 years. It sounds like you've got a grip on what needs to be done with the various lease option strategies we use, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy to help.
  8. Lynie, if I understand your process then I don't see why you need an attorney, an agent, or a title company involved at all. You've described what I call a Cooperative Assignment. Been doing them for 25 years and have never used any of the above to handle the assignment. Why are you?
  10. The older, first edition manual is available here. I have been negligent in completing the 2nd edition. It's on my to-do list, but it's a matter of making the time to sit and write for hours. . .and hours. So I do not have a time table for publication at this time.
  11. Hello, and welcome to The Naked Investor. No doubt real estate investing is a fluid business, always changing in one way or another. For example, look at how dramatically marketing has changed in just the past decade or so. We used to "dial for dollars", as we called it, every weekend when the FSBO ads came out in the newspaper. Now, print media is a dying industry as marketing has moved online and digital. My point? Yes, certain aspects of real estate have changed, but some facets remain viable. Lease options are still in use today and probably more popular than they were when I started 25 years ago. Your location isn't as restrictive as it once was. If someone's local market isn't producing the results they want, with a few mouse clicks we can do deals at a distance. Don't put up obstacles where there aren't any, tw33tybyrd. You can do this. The key is to remember you aren't in the real estate business. . .you're in the marketing business. Find sellers in need of debt relief, (and that's really what it comes down to), let them know how you can help them, and you'll succeed. Let me know if you need any help.
  12. Hi, Jamie. Unfortunately, it has been delayed to the point to where I'm reluctant to hazard a guess. I was sure it would have been completed by now, but it isn't and I still have a way to go. I apologize for the delay.
  13. FL law is clear on this: a lease of less than one year does not require notarization to be legally binding.
  14. There is no legal requirement in Florida for a month-to-month lease to be notarized. The lack of a notary stamp does not have any bearing on the legal enforcement of the agreement, should it be necessary. Likewise, the addendum. You're fine.
