New owner would like to get a plan for bringing into compliance.  

Repeated flipping of homes or new home development for immediate sale are the types of things in the real estate space that can trigger UBIT.

Unless the seller specifically has other offers on the property, your escalation clause (if it's written correctly) will not trigger (take effect).  

I'm wanting to pull the trigger soon and really get into the game.

I have been considering trying out a direct mail campaign but haven't pulled the trigger yet.Thanks again for all of your thoughts!

One home on Green street In SF I had to foreclose on peaked at 2 mil in 88 by the time we went to trustee sale no one bid it at opening bid of 925k.. today probably 5 mil easy if not more.. and by 97 ish back to  2 mil.. who knows what will trigger the next one.. but  when credit froze in 08 there was nothing we could do if you did not have cash .here are some areas I worked in   in those days and the crash.1. parts of Atlanta I made loans on houses that were worth 150k my loans were 90k   sold this 97 build for 36k in 09.

If your ready to buy, look for a good deal, and pull the trigger.  

I've always been intrigued with real estate investing so I'm finally getting to a position where I can pull the trigger.

You could quit claim them over to your LLC after you close the loan, but that could trigger the due on sale clause in a bank loan.

We look at it like a potential buyer, not an investor who sometimes banks on the property selling toward the range of the higher comps.We don't "send you how to books and tapes" We have a trained staff to help you work on your business- a deal desk that you can call to review any property you have under contract, a compliance team to review risk factors, construction project managers that will vet your contractor bids - in addition to the resources that help you learn THIS SPECIFIC way of evaluating deals- finding the types of properties that do qualify for low or no cash to close.
