Answer sure.. have to check if there is a due on sale clause or if you have a PG to the orignal seller.. that mortgage stays in your name unless there is a formal assumption  Maybe the example is more challenging for a house as the property.Ex. with vacant land - seller finances to me $20k with 5% down and $1k/moCan I after 1-2 months, then resell the land to a cash buyer for $25k, pay off the original $20k and pocket the $5k?

The mortgage on this property is way above what I can rent to a family.

We've built, ground-up, several homes and my mortgage company finances tons of new construction projects.

And in America slum housing is not the order of the day it does not exist. 

I did the math and could cover the mortgage solo if needed.

At this time the interest rates may make keeping your existing home a better option than times when rates have not risen as substantially.  

I have to decide if im going to use a new injection of capital from the sale of my primary residence to:1) Hold in treasury bills at 4.5 percent until I find another property to purchase2) Pay off one of two existing mortgages, one at 3.75 percent and another at 4.5 percent3) Just find something to buy that beats either of those percentages on paper and be done with it4) Possibly loan out some hard money/broker it to a friend to allocateIts never an easy decision, but its a good problem to have.

I searched for homes based on the mortgage I could afford.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?

How can a individual existing property be moved out of partnership to a individual member without triggering capitol gains?
