When purchasing your mother-in-law's house through seller financing, since the property qualifies as her primary residence, she should be able to exclude up to $250,000 of gains ($500,000 if married) from taxable income, so capital gains taxes are unlikely to be an issue given the sale price is below the tax basis.2.

Closing in another 135 days should never be an issue, especially if you picked your property and did your inspection before the 45 days expired. 

Agreed, the "Syndication", "Private Equity Real Estate" or "DST" model are all variations of the same theme: - Pay money to sponsor who is supposed to be an expert investor.- Give them complete control over your money in the context of the deal or fund. - Wait and hope that they deliver returns. 

@Eric SatoHey Eric, doing that high of a down payment should not be an issue for getting a conventional loan for DTI purposes.

I just learned this might be an issue due to related party.

Do it yourself, learn as much as you can, seek out a grey hair mentor who will advise you for a cup of coffee.  

@David ChanceI live in downtown Frederick and invest here too, with rental licensing that just pass in going to be even harder.Lets catch up or have a coffee

This can be an extremely time-consuming and frustrating process but needs to get done.Borrower Calls – Once the servicer finds your borrower, they’ll make scheduled collection calls notating what transpired and what actions need to be taken.Collection Letters – A variety of collection letters are mailed out based on the delinquency of the borrower.Borrower Statements – Print and mail out monthly borrower statements.Incoming Funds from Borrowers– Any incoming funds from the borrowers will be received, recorded, and distributed to the investor, less the servicer’s fees.Year-End Tax Information – At the end of the year, the servicing company will print out all eligible borrowers who have made interest payments greater than $600.

I see your next availability is mid August, so I would expect to see more inquiries in the next 2 weeks.The low amount of direct inquiries from Furnished Finder is normal as well, from our experience with 25 properties.I don't recommend the discount for first 3 bookings if you're doing MTR, that can easily be an entire year of bookings discounted!

This could be an opportunity to step in and optimize the property.
