From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re more focused on long-term appreciation and future benefits rather than immediate cash flow.

How much weight do you give to the cash flow benefit of cheap debt when the property is priced above market?

The mortgage would stay under the seller's name.The buyer could then rent out the unit, renovate, etc. to increase cash flow or make more money.But aside from a possible "due on clause" being called by the mortgage company, what's the benefit to the seller?

as a "donation" (translating to the benefit of taking a deduction for 2025).

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

If they get married it will help her earn SS benefits, etc etc. 

Lots of folks are pulling out cash based on the appraised value for their next projects and holding for a few years to benefit from appreciation. 

I’d love to hear your experiences, especially if there were unexpected benefits or challenges.Looking forward to your insights! 

I was curious how those of you that work with partners clearly define the roles and benefits within your entity.
