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.

Personally, I am interested in turnkey investing, but I haven't pulled the trigger on any turnkey deals. 

I've not pulled the trigger as yet myself, as I have no idea if rehab project management is included.

However, I have been a little apprehensive with pulling the trigger until I can have an opportunity to get some advice from someone in a very similar situation like mine.

Since the loan will not be paid off any time soon by solely making monthly payments, does it make any sense at all to continue renting only breaking even, or should I pull the trigger on the sale and take what I can get for it, even if it means taking a big loss from my purchase price in 2010, just to be done with the house?

You will want to do some research here and make sure that you are comfortable with the (albeit very low) risk of triggering the DOS clause that is in most mortgages.
