You could get all fancy and stuff with the wrap-arounds and the subject to's and all of these other clever tricks to hide that you are taking over the home but contrary to popular belief, lenders aren't stupid, and i've seen too many accelerations for transfer without written lender approval to do so, to think otherwise.

Fancy running into @Joe Fairless here, I didn't realize you were a site member. 

I do my own bookkeeping (handwritten - none of that fancy quickbooks stuff) and I bring him the ledger books for my properties at tax time. 

This entire process has taken about 2 years for him to lose over a dozen houses, his fancy cars, his office building, his friends (accept me) and his family and all his wealth.
