Daniel L. Effective Use of Friendly Options in Lieu of Other Controlled Equity Stripping Strategies
13 September 2013 | 3 replies
v=258RirsQDMESpecific to my situation, I would be closing on the purchase contract with a land trust with an uber trusted friend as trustee.My family member would create their own land trust, have their own uber trusted trustee, and write up the option contract.Being a land trust they would just be contracting for my beneficial interest of course.I view this strategy as having the following benefits:1.A little privacy (yes, I’ll won’t mistakenly pay the taxes in my name :)2.Locking in the option price of the property at the lowest possible denomination for future transfer before appreciation racks up.3.Protects equity growth from appreciation…not as good as a properly executed friendly shared appreciation mortgage but still a minor deterrent for (frivolous/abusive lawsuits).4.The option will need a buyback or cancel clause I could execute & record the wipe in event that I want to 3rd party refi/collateralize/ELOC the property.A later option could again be recorded after the refi etc.I have a zillion tedious but relevant questions regarding this strategy I’ll add following this lead post.FYI Like I said I’ve got the SLCC & liability insurances under wraps.I really want to pick apart the friendly options strategy so I can help detail considerations to other investors otherwise considering the use of friendly options.

Plus, there is a locking metal door (just a small lock but it would be somewhat of a deterrant) infront of the glass door.Of course no door will keep anyone out if you open it to see what all the noice is about.I lived in a different area (better) and two teens got into a horrible fight in the church parking lot next to us.
