But to the point of this thread, no one can offer a "this is a good return" without knowing the structure and the potential risks involved.I think Jaycee hits on the general returns available in the market. 

I've worked with some Canadians buying  here in Ohio.Indeed, rather than selling your stocks to fund investments (and lose out on any potential price appreciation and dividend payments, as well as incurring capital gains taxes), a nice alternative is to borrow against some percentage of the holdings.You would start with the brokerage where you hold the stocks and see what their loan program looks like for the account you hold. 

This question goes without saying, that the seller's coverage of the commission is promised but not guaranteed, potentially leaving me (the buyer) with the check.Next, what are your guys' opinions on limited dual agency with assigned agency?

It also makes things cleaner with other potential heirs.

In his words, this is away around the due on sale clause that you can run into in a sub - to transaction.My question - if the seller puts the property in a trust, will this avoid the potential of a due on sale clause?
