Anything is possible if you can find a motivated buyer in time.The catch will be that you might very well need to find a way outside of the normal escrow to conduct the transition between you and the other buyer.Sounds like the kinda thing I'd bring in a local expert on to make it happen.

I am looking at the various options for develping passive income(s) that will allow me to transition from my current field when the time is right.I've been networking a bit locally and have exposed myself to this investment segment enough to where I feel I can have an intelligent conversation on the various opportunities that are out there.

Something to help me set goal, stick to criteria, and organize myself as I prepare to transition into this in 18 months.

So far I've tried to invest in properties where I feel like the neighborhood is transitioning.

I expect to make the transition to part 3 at the next real estate/economic downturn.

I am slowly transitioning from a landlord that tenants knows owns the property and has his cell phone number into a professional appearing, buildium using landlord so as to remove as much personal contact as possible.  

I'm hoping REI will enable me to slowly transition out of the crazy long hours and travel I endure now in to something a little more stable and predictable so I can pick and choose my jobs more carefully to stay local and hopefully one day have a family.

I can't say I have seen a single person go directly into wholesaling full time, it is usually a transition that occurs after they have some experience and have fine turned their systems and built a solid reputation among local investors.

you can bet that I will be utilizing that OO financing as soon as I can transition to a job that allows me to justify having a residence.

@Mark Ferguson To me, transitioning to RE was like getting another Master's degree; about two years of hands-on learning and research is needed and most folks are just looking for a shortcut; gurus offer that - or at least promise it.
