Hello BP Community,Anytime I am analyzing a potential investment property, the 1% rule lingers in the back of my mind and makes me hesitant about pulling the trigger on a deal.

@Greg Dickerson I’ve built a business plan and formed partnerships within my local community.

If you have money saved now, but just need the two years, it might be safest to just keep saving until you are two years and just do it all yourself and protect yourself from a bad partnership.

Also possibly offering extended leases with no rent increases for tenants who work with me.Ultimately, my tenants and I are in a partnership. 

Through my research I've found that when transferring a title from your name into an LLC might trigger a "due-on-sale" clause from the bank, in which you'd have to come up with all the money owed on the house.

Transferring title from my name to an entity would trigger the due-on-sale clause.

What I'm trying to figure out it what the financing options of a partnership are.

So I can obviously lease the office building back to my company for a non-audit triggering amount. 

Because I had been burned bad in RE before that I was too gun-shy to pull the trigger on anything even though I knew inside houses were ridiculously cheap and so was the market. 

Form 5 says if you are a sole proprietor (not a partnership, Llc etc) then fill out form 5C, that is the home owner and soul proprietor form.
