The SS flip niche takes even more pummeling; there seems to be a recent cascade of an increasingly negative court of opinion mainly emanating from the realtor and lender-backed community.

The spreadsheet is for one SFH but you can project how this would cascade with multiple properties.http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/Sartain/file/modified-sfh-cash-flow-analysis

The main attractions I am familiar with there are the Skagit Valley Tulip festival and North Cascades National Park.

Nobody wants to be left holding the bag and many assets can be sold in an instant.Personally I think something will trigger a cascade effect in the markets sooner rather than later.

WA is about as blue as they come, West of the Cascades anyway- 90% of our  population but less than 1/3 land area. 

I live in Bend Oregon on the sunny side of the Cascade mountains and absolutely love it here.

Northwest on the western side of the cascades is mostly doug fir so no Beatle kill.. but east side is really bad and up into British Columbia is right out of the Bible. its a big deal.. your parents were our clients that's who we bought from..   

Bend will receive $8.3 million for College View apartments, a pair of new apartment buildings across the street from the Oregon State University-Cascades campus.

According to the information on the website, this process has been around for over 25 years and there are many large corporate transactions that have been done in a similar fashion (Office Depot/Boise Cascade ~$1.5 billion, for example).Mike is specifically mentioning a Monetized Installment Sale but you are responding with what you know about a deferred sales trust.

@Chris Clothier  well get your rear end out here and I will take you on a world class Steelhead fishing trip.. and then throw you in my plane and give you a tour from Friday Harbor down the east side of the cascades with a flight smack dab over Mt.
