Hi Cameron, I'm not sure where you're looking as Grafton is a little farther from the city than I am, but @Taylor Johnson helped me find my first property in Malden and I'd highly recommend him as an investor friendly agent. Thanks!

Hi Carson, 

Welcome to the site! 

@Taylor Johnson helped me find my place just over a year ago in Malden. I purchased a duplex here and am currently house hacking and so far it's worked out great. 

As I'm sure you know the market is really competitive right now but that did not deter Taylor at all- he helped me through many different offers over a 6 month period until I finally got my place. Taylor has lots of investment experience and was able to give me really good advice and never pressured me to make any offers we didn't want to or didn't feel were right. 

Here's his website: https://www.evboston.com/realestate/agent/taylor-j...

I definitely recommend him as an agent! 

@Mike Hurney Brokerage and retirement accounts. Where is this line of questioning going?

Hi all, 

I'm looking to begin investing in the Boston area (Medford, Malden, East Boston, Dorchester, Quincy) and have a partner lined up. We're currently working on the partnership structure and trying to iron that out to best meet our needs. 

We would like to buy in one of our names (reasons being better rates and more willingness to lend from banks, more overall flexibility for future buying) and eventually move the property into an LLC for protection. I was specifically wondering if there is anyway to add a clause in the original mortgage agreement that would void the due on sales clause if ownership is transferred to a named entity (the LLC we would establish) or if this is not at all possible. I haven't heard of it being done but given a flexible lender, I figure it was worth exploring.

If that is not possible, we will most likely form an LLC initially and buy under the LLC to avoid the risk exposure, no matter how small, of a due on sales clause being called.

Would love to hear from you on this!

@Michael Powell Thanks so much for reaching out- that is really interesting. I'm certainly going to check out the book and the businesses that those folks had started. Appreciate it! 

@Glenn Tracy Thanks for reaching out! I'll look forward to seeing what those two have to say!
