Looking for some opinions....I have forwarded this to my attorney as well so I am just looking for opinions from those experienced in private money transactions, I know that I should consult an attorney.I own land that I am trying to build out a brewery on in NH. 

@Maria Murphy It was a normal transaction once we ended at the notary.

What the WON’T do however is complete a. transaction.3.

The people involved in the transaction may know the lender and their reputation to close deals giving your offer an advantage.

Several recent transactions closed at 5%+ lower than the final asking price. 

Presumably my gain will be much (less) on the second sell transaction in CA.Are there any regulations on how long I must hold my 'new' CA property before selling it (and going out of state) to avoid CA taxes on first transaction? 

A hard money lender should be able to do a transaction like this.

Why do they get an equity stake in this transaction?

This approach not only allows you to create value through renovations but also increases your overall return on investment.Off-market deals are typically cash transactions, but if you don’t have the cash on hand, you can consider using a hard money lender.

Going off that, if I were to choose a suburban market, doing CMAs and underwriting deals seems like it'd be a challenge as there's less transaction volume.
