Hotels are putting a lot of pressure on local governments over this, and it makes sense to pay the tax.Also,@Shane Pearlman   @Levi Bennett  Watch for the new Vacation Rental Forum coming soon! 

The end buyer would "nominate" you at any time prior to close to close on the contract, and with that agreement, you can re-convey the deed without an excise tax.

Hello Levi T.!

Excise taxes, ya know. 

If your corp, LLC, LP, or whatever owns a property in TN you will have to pay Franchise and Excise tax regardless of where that entity is formed.

Thanks for the reply Levi.

Insurable title means the title insurance will step in after the closing and defend the buyer but only if any of the lien or judgment holders actually step forward and levy the claim against the real property.

Dear Washington state wholesalers ,  I was just reading through the RCW on excise tax and found this little nugget below (RCW 458-61A-104 para (1)(b)). 

Just to clarify Tae, the property I was buying came up on the title search because the city had levied the fines against the property and over a two year span the fines totaled $26,000.
