I do the same thing, just to basically get them to cross me off their list and not bother me anymore. 

There is an argument to be made that a land contract or a subject 2 structured strong enough could cross the "risk of loss passing" bar and that the bundle of rights you have in controlling the property is enough to make it equivalent to having a deeded interest in the property.We've done 1031 exchanges for land contracts occasionally. 

crossing the calendar year to recognize the gain in - 2018 = as good as it's going to get for you.  

I'm currently in the Marine Corps and will be getting out late October after 4 years.

Hi All,Not sure of the BP policy on cross posting, but I wanted my Houston colleagues to see the progress on my first flip ever!  

But there is a LOT more research to be done in those markets and cross boarder investing.

And, there are private lenders in the Raleigh market who would cross collateralize (taking a lien against one of your free and clear properties)....more expensive than a HELOC, though.

Don’t be scared to do this .crossIng the street is rIsky If you dont know what you are doIng .

@Ryan Peach thanks hope we cross paths soon.

Hi all,Of the Marines, the Moncton market is certainly attractive for investors looking to pickup long term multi's.
