If Russia collects tax on the sale, you may get a tax credit to offset some or all of the foreign tax.

In reality, if you are selling this on a L/O as I would be, you will get most or all that money back when you occupy the home so in reality, you are still getting the home for low or no money down.

You can sell some or all of that stream of payments.

If I sell my property and carry back some or all of the purchase price to finance the sale, then I am subject to the SAFE Act, unless the property is my personal residence.A lease option, as it is typically structured, is not a financing arrangement, it is a lease with a separate agreement that gives the tenant the option to buy the property at a mutually agreed price some time in the future.

He states one must consider both the lease and the landlord tenant act together.They owe if they break a lease until the lease ends--one or all of them.

My reason for asking was that I have personally seen where people list their properties in their own name, and then lose one or all of them if they get taken to court.

Added bedrooms or square footage or decks, etc should be considered as not even there when evalutaing your comps.In addition, in the scenario you provided, you should also take into consideration the possibilty already mentioned in that the inspector may require you to remove some or all of the non-permitted additions costing you more than if you just built from scratch.Go back to the bank and show the comps for the 1 bedroom units only as that is ALL they have to sell at this point.

I do not have the experience to build houses or manage a project of that scope.I have the cash to buy some (or all) of these properties...

As long as you get title insurance it should make no diiference whether you purchase with financing or all cash, you do the same due diligence, the same decision making etc.

But saying they all are is like saying all attorneys are sharks, or all blondes are dumb, (although I've been guilty of telling attorney jokes and blonde jokes.)
