He may be actually speaking about a "Wrap".Find out if actual ownership converts to youMake sure you have a title reportYou may want to pay for an appraisal and an inspectionMake sure you use an escrow company or an attorney to do the transaction Hi Ken!

but I had a few thousand transactions in my experience bucket and I did it for one client only..  

I run Raise the Standard Real Estate in Milwaukee, WI and we focus on investors servicing them from building a strategy, completing the transaction, and assisting with property management duties.

In Atlanta, Georgia - unless you get caught doing something illegal, it's considered 'grandfathered in' and won't be a problem when buying or selling.

I am also open to partnering on a transaction. 

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.

On the other end of the spectrum you have those teaching others how to syndicate larger transactions.

I never said these things were illegal or COULD not be prosecuted but its just as likely a lazy District Attorney as a lazy cop!

An agent told me that 9/10 transactions they handle are cash and not financed - so i think in this particular submarket going in with financing really weakens you.  

: A 1031 Exchange can defer a significant amount of capital gains tax, so it’s often worth it for high-value transactions.
