Quote from @Dave Allen: I'm in a bit of a situationMy wife and her parents are selling a duplex they own together.My wife is trusting me to re invest into cash positive investments.We could stand to take as much as a quarter million, and tax free since we lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years.What are some suggestions for markets that would provide cashflow?

What your deal would ultimately entail is a buyer who trusts you enough to give you $125k and trust you to pay it back while his property is encumbered by both your seller finance note and your original mortgage for $125k.

So, things change a bit.If it is his personal home, there are more restrictions.For an investment property, if you take over his financing, read through the deed of trust (mortgage) and see how they handle transfer of ownership.

A PMC is great to use not only for all these items but also really being a trusted source for vendors too etc.
