( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1613092/ ) on Netflix with a professor, Daniel Gilbert, from Harvard University.He and I got connected here on another buy-and-hold project but shared this approach, and it's got me wondering - could this model work here the U.S., especially in places  where there's a push for sustainable and community-focused living?

I got a call from title company and their attorney instructed them that they can NO longer close deals that are from assignments.. or do double closes.. 

Seller is just continuing to pay the taxes, even though he "doesn't own" the land...until/unless he hires an attorney to do the title search, he won't ever be able to sell it or develop the land. 

You could also consider seller financing, where you work out a deal with the sellers to pay off the remaining mortgage balance while securing the deed.All these options would help you avoid the risks of not holding title to the properties while also giving you access to the equity you've built.

The answer is they buy it in their personal name, their mortgage is in their personal name, and then upon closing / taking title of the property, they "quite claim" deed transfer the property from themselves to their LLC. 

For example, having a dog crate available can encourage guests to crate their pets when leaving the property.Promote your pet-friendly status: Make sure to highlight in the listing title and throughout the description that you welcome pets!
