My main concern is how to avoid activating the due-on-sale clause when transferring the deed.

In other words, they are in some sort of financial situation that is forcing the sale of the home.

If not, I do not recommend sheriff sales as a first attempt.

The NM first district court has still not approved the sale.  

Start ups are hard, expensive, and take a long time to get going.Have you looked on Bizbuysell, Crexi, or Loopnet, to see if there is one that is already going for sale?

Hey BP community,I’m looking at a short sale property in Florida and considering making an offer.

So we have held to maturity and held for sale.

You can also look into the builder to make sure that they are reputable.Also, look up some videos on selling a house for sale by owner in your state.

@Blake Johnson If investors want to divide real estate holdings without triggering a large tax bill, the biggest challenge is that transferring assets out of a corporation is typically treated as a taxable sale at fair market value.

Additionally, you could explore options like a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
