I would say a lot would depend on your location, and how you buy your material.

Some franchisees are huge companies with 50+ franchises, a 30+ year history and excellent credit and thus are much less risky than say a person who just bought his one and only Taco Bell/Pizza Hut/Hardees/etc franchise.

Well that shouldn't be because that comes with there line of work to be able to reach them on say a weekend if you find a deal.

What I meant was what if the my buyer's agent split his 2.5% commission with me instead of my wife just getting 30% of the 2.5%.....Honestly I don't think a buyer's agent does much anyway (in a RE investment transaction at least, compared to like say a first time home buyer with absolutely no idea about anything real estate).

“They” say… A real estate transaction is not consummated until the “consideration” or “earnest money” deposit has been paid, so there is possibly a risk doing it the way I described.With that said… If a seller was trying to “get out” of an agreement we had together… and the deal is not yet closed, I am not going to fight with them over it… I generally would let them out… It is easier to find another deal than it is to fight with them for 6 months in court!

A friend of mine used to do drywall and he just showed me some tricks of the trade I guess you would say. A

Garn St Germaine clearly allows such a transfer- exempt from due on sale provision.Then, owner assigns you, say, a 90% interest in the beneficiary interest of the Trust.
