Bit of a long story, but my partner and I are trying to purchase a property from a family friend of mine and we're having trouble locating the last seller.

It does not have to be a one to one exchange or a asset class to asset class.

To me at my current knowledge level, this deal only works if taking over the loan - to limit the out of pocket money to acquire the property since the outside reno and new septic would take up the bulk of rehab costs. 

This is a new venture that I'm looking into and real excited about. 

I find it disturbing how many "business models" are all about suckering people into buying and even use skillful wording to deceive people into signing up.

Have a great holiday. 

Buy something in a place where you will like to vacation in and hire out the management.

It the equivilant of a very light sanding, then poly and looks good as new.
