I'm working with a real estate attorney to help me with transferring the deed.

As Hai mentioned in BC there are a couple of extra things to factor in if your parents sell it to you-the capital gains, foreign buyer's tax AND the property transfer tax all apply in BC and the middle one is not cheap (an extra 15%). 

However, the IRS may scrutinize exchanges if the holding period post-transfer is too short (typically 12-24 months recommended).If one partner wants to defer capital gains while the other prefers cash, the deferring partner could reinvest their share into a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) fund, which can defer and reduce taxable gains if held for at least 10 years.

Neighborhoods near major employers like the AFB often provide reliable rental demand, which is a great foundation for a long-term hold strategy. 

All that matters is whether the property will attract reliable tenants (A reliable tenant stays many years, pays the rent on schedule, and takes good care of the property).

So i bought a home back in September 2022 in Kansas City Mo with 7.37% interest and I remodeled the home by putting a 2nd full kitchen and remodel the main bathroom almost putting close to $30k I have a remaining balance left of $275k in loan, I had to relocate to Dallas due to unexpected job transfers in 2024 May such a short notice didn’t want to put the MO home back on the market and loose money.

How to Structure the Deal to Protect Your $20KIf you’re willing to cover the $20K arrears, here’s how to protect yourself:Option 1: Secure Your Funds with a Lien or Escrow AgreementUse an escrow account: Deposit the $20K into escrow with clear terms—if the assumption is denied, the funds return to you.Record a promissory note & lien: If the deal falls through, this would give you a legal claim against the property to recover your funds.Option 2: Sub-To + Wrap While You AssumeSubject-to deal: Take over the existing loan payments before assumption approval, securing control.Escrowed deed transfer: The seller signs the deed into escrow only to be recorded after assumption approval, ensuring they can’t back out.Lease option fallback: If the assumption is denied, consider a lease option agreement until another solution is found.Option 3: Negotiate a Seller Financing HybridAsk the seller to carry a small second note for the $60K equity gap at favorable terms.Use your $20K as a down payment, structured as a secured loan against the property.3.

Additionally, seek out testimonials or referrals from other real estate clients to gauge the CPA's expertise and reliability. 

It’s a market that often flies under the radar but offers great potential for long-distance investing.And if you ever need help building your team or want some recommendations for reliable contacts in Oklahoma, feel free to reach out.
