One thing people should know about the whole due on sale is the mortgage payment flow.Mortgage payments typically go to a mortgage servicing company - in many instances these companies are subsidiaries or 3rd parties to the lender.

@Shaun AndersonYou may be able to open an account at TD Bank or RBC's U.S.A. subsidiary (Harris?)

I use movinghelp.com (a subsidiary of UHaul).

There seems to be a lot of discussion regarding partnership parent companies, but not many about single owner.My ultimate goal is to have the parent company, with subsidiaries for flipping, rentals, and possibly a management company to handle each of the rentals, for further protection.

What I was actually thinking of doing in the future was to have one the businesses as subsidiaries of one main businesses, but I definitely agree that keeping them separately would probably be the best bet for me.

., the easiest path for a Canadian is to borrow from the U.S.A. subsidiary of their Canadian bank (TD, BMO, & RBC all have U.S.A. banking subsidiaries) as you can use your Canadian credit history.  

As far as setting up subsidiary entities for each property, this depends on what kind of liability protection you are looking for.  

The survival of one of the nation's largest non-bank mortgage servicing companies was thrown into question Thursday as the company was hit with federal and state lawsuits for allegedly failing borrowers with mistakes, shortcuts and other problems that cost some people their homes.Ocwen Financial Corporation allegedly botched basic functions such as sending accurate monthly mortgage statements, properly crediting borrowers' payments and handling taxes and insurance, according to a lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.The CFPB also accused the company, based in West Palm Beach of improperly foreclosing on struggling borrowers, ignoring complaints and selling servicing rights to mortgage loans without fully disclosing mistakes the company and its subsidiaries made in borrowers' records.Read full article here...

Additionally it makes a difference if the national brand parent corp. is guaranteeing the lease, subsidiary of corporate guarantee, large franchisee, or small franchisee.

The other day I saw a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway purchased a real estate firm so look for them to be big buyers in the near future.
