And even better, transactions made with their cash management account would instantly sync with my books, so I wouldn't have the constant reconciliation errors I get with QBO. 

I am the #1 realtor in my town and that's one reason why, constantly hustling to give clients value. 

(You act as the bank)Charitable giving to offset gainsTransfer the home into a trust (Like a CRT for example) that will avoid capital gains tax and you can have pay you a set income stream until your death and the remaining funds would go to charity.None of this is or possibly could be advice, I don't have enough info to fully know what is "best" but these are some ideas to think about!

We are moving to Central America this coming August and we needed a modest passive income stream to facilitate our minimalist lifestyle.

If I buy the revenue stream I'm not buying "Peter" with it.

My company does the following:• Free and simple MLO Licensing (22 hours online or in person and you choose your schedule)• Mortgage team to handle the backend (meaning, no structuring, underwriting or processing loans) • Competitive mortgage rates backed a company with 20+ years in the business• Downline revenue stream on the lending side (similar to EXP model.)• They do not have to change brokeragesIn my mind, there aren't many cons to this.

If you want to buy and hold, use a debt product that stays constant for long periods of time, not one that constantly fluctuates.Another way I think about this: you need to buy a new $30,000 car, you plan to hold onto the car for 5 years and you want to finance it.

I have learned to mitigate risk with smarter purchases, reserves, reasonable down payments, built-in gains, solid income stream, and not biting off to much at any time.There is risk in everything, but these are large investments of time and money. 

then you really don't have a problem...except that you are forced to switch horses in mid-stream which I know is not desirable....A new GC will not always charge so much more to take over a job mid-stream, it just depends on a lot of things (like the original GCs reputation).I would get a release (of sorts) stating that the original GC will warranty the work that he has completed and that the new GC is not liable for any work not performed by his company.

So with that said, you then would have to make sure your contracts are flawless AND you likely will be doing more work constantly checking in on Due Diligence periods, the wholesalers contracts, their amendments, keeping up with the closing company etc.
