Lenders have more to worry about in Las Vegas than "due-on-sale clause violations".As long as this loan remains "current & performing";...you have a better chance of "hitting the jackpot" at Caesars Palace, than having the lender accelerate an otherwise performing loan in good standing for a violation in the "due-on-sale clause".Spending a few hundred dollars with a good attorney that specializes in these types of land contracts should be worth the money. (...try finding these types of lawyers who are affiliated with your local Las Vegas Real Estate Investment Club).A lawyer of this type can create a new, or review and update your trust/sales-agreement, land contract, etc.Here's a different twist:How about a back-up agreement and a back-up deed?
