Hi Everyone! 

 

I am adding second lien mortgages for our properties to my books and ran into this new one. Occasionally private lenders don't send the money to us first, and then we bring the cash to close at closing. They send the EMD (or full amount to close) directly to the attorney. How do I record that transaction since there is no track record on our end but we obviously still owe them the money now? Thank you!!

Tell the lender you can't pay until you get something from them saying what you owe and what it's for. Or get a copy from the attorney and hopefully what you get will reference a property address or something.
