Hello all the REIN experts, I am in the process closing a property with a seller. He has agreed for me to pay his equity portion and take over his mortgage. For my understanding, he will be still on the title until I take over the mortgage , and for now I will have "right to purchase" on the title. Okay my question is:
After we sign purchase agreement, I will pay owner for the mortgage payment, property tax, insurance and all the expenses and act as an owner. Tenant will pay rent to me. Since he is still on the mortgage and on the title, how do I report rental income as tax purpose? Is it doable? Anything I should bewared of when I take over someone's mortgage? Thanks for your advice!
