Should have pulled trigger two years ago!

If I was a renter today, I'd be doing everything I can to get the longest lease possible, 5yr, 10yr+ to lock in because this is an enduring upward pressure on rent's that only has 1 release valve, price ascension. 

Only a sale will trigger the tax.However there are a couple issues here.1.

I had a gun pulled on me doing that, but we sorted it out before he pulled the trigger. ;-) 

My family member does have an agent in mind but nothing is locked in yet so I want to help him with his due diligence. 

She is currently locked into a lease, but she will be $900 short on rent this month and she says it is getting harder to pay every month.She has never been late or given issues before  she takes GREAT care of the property. 

Not to hijack your thread, but do any seasoned offshore real estate investors here know if foreign real estate investments over $50,000 trigger FATCA reporting requirements?

Knowing that this can trigger due on sale, would it still be advisable to the the Wrap?  

Especially for MTR, I want to establish relationships with these companies to lock down my niche.

We love having a smart lock on the property, guidebook/recommendations are a favorite, and do move in/move out inspections just like normal!
