That can happen in a hot market, or it can happen in a crashed market, and any and all points in between, and a true investor will be willing and able to pull the trigger on such a deal at any time and any market condition.

Off Market deals are found from hard work but I don't advise you start that route if you are not prepared to pull the trigger quick.  

I sounded like I knew so much and was right around the corner from pulling the trigger in every post!

I base my trigger pulling on cash flow strictly.  

In general contributions into an entity do not trigger a taxable event.Doing it prior to sale leaves you open to issues of intent and holding period and the thought that you're somehow hiding gain somewhere in the entity transfer.  

Only 1 has pulled the trigger in a purchase, and most (even those I don't work with) that I have encountered want something for nothing.

Great thread; I have been on BP and in learning mode the past eight months and have pulled the trigger on a 4-unit in the Cleveland region; it will be my first investment property....my decision was influenced by some on this thread.

Account Closed yes they do other wise it could trigger a "due on sale" out lined in the mortgage note.
