If you or a partner dies and you have to sale you will lose money.  

@Muhammad Kashif to avoid interest related transactions:1) Buy & hold rentals - you make your money back via rental payments.2) Funding flip deals - instead of lending at an interest rate, you could lend for a percentage of the profits on the sale.

They both do very well on rent vs. sale price.

Any way to delay the official sale to keep taxes low while still maintaining a contract to buy? 

I.e. a group that was getting 30+% returns out of a 2017 acquisition with a sale in 2019, should be looked at loosely against other sponsors with deals of similar acquisition date, as general market timing is really going to be 90% of the overall return, with the operations only accounting for a small part of the overall return.

Not many real estate agents focus on lease properties since the commission is significantly less than that of property sales.

So, to stick to your agreement you should pay them 3 percent of the sales price at closing.
