How do they define 'safe'....? 

Jump off the cliff or Analysis Paralysis-  define failure.  

In my almost 20 years of doing Subject 2's and working with other investors in almost every State in the US, in the very few instances the Due on Sale is called it is because if the inexperience of the Investor in not knowing how the transaction is to be done, (not closing with a Title Company or Attorney, not doing the Insurance correctly)Most of all, (not communicating with the seller) Bank calls the Seller to offer them Life Insurance or some other service, and the seller tells them, "I don't own that house any longer, some guy took that house from me and put some renter in it"If you dig into any investor that tells you they had a property or a friend of their brother in laws Collage roommate that had the Due on Sale clause called, you will most likely find that the investor screwed up somewhere.This is why Education and knowledge is needed on any Real Estate transaction.I get calls almost everyday from someone who screwed up on a Subject 2 and is asking to be bailed out, many times they do not want to pay for help, and things just get worse.If you know how to make the Bank Comfortable with the transaction, all is good.Last year I had a couple of hedge fund managers call me asking how they can offer their under preforming loans to Investors to by Subject 2, wow what a great deal, I could call Pace and he would have buyers the same day for a 1,000 homes, but the legal aspect of this would hold the Hedge fund liable so we could not do a deal.

Managing money might not seem as exciting as closing deals, but it’s one of the most crucial aspects of running a successful real estate business.

Sellers or JV partners may value a hands-off partner who can handle rehabs.Start with a Strategy: Whether it's BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) or simply flipping properties to build capital, define a clear path for your first few deals that aligns with your long-term development goals. 

Passive income which sec 469 defines as:1.

To scale, I’d focus on defining financial goals, targeting specific property types, diversifying, and building a solid network.

My experience indicates that solid due diligence upfront on the economics is the critical factor, the tax aspects often take care of themselves with only modest planning.

I would love to hear from anyone with experience navigating these aspects of a coliving BRRRR strategy!
