I found a seller who is motivated to sell his property at a pretty steep discount.My plan is to put the property in escrow on an executory contract/land contract with the condition that the title will transfer once the seller receives his funds.

@Chris Seveney - Where do you get your data on US treasury demand - per your "very weak demand" comment? 

——————————————————————————————————From the previous month, below are some real estate updates, data points, and current events!

I’m sure someone will tell you that you can transfer title of the house after closing, but what purpose would that serve?

You can use Airdna & other STR estimator tools to get data on potential income/vacancy based on your location and property size. 

Also the 1% rule is about as good as the rule thumb and not based on current conditions or current data. 

You can always get MLS data many places.You be the investor, let the realtors do their jobs.

My goal for the team would be to have one project under-way by EOY.The exit-strategy of each deal will be dependent on location, market data, and ROI comparisons to determine the best route forward for the team and our goals at the time.

You may need to seek legal counsel on this.2) Get all the info about your rental property as possible: leases, rent ledgers, tenant contact info, etc.3) Start looking for a new PMC4) Execute your termination notice5) Once transfer is complete, circle back to decide if worth suing them.

Could you gift the down payment to your mother in law so she can buy it and then transfer title to you when your house is done?
