What about having to break even, or even feed the property every month $200 for those same 36 months, but at sale, could net a $75K-$100K profit?

In his words, this is away around the due on sale clause that you can run into in a sub - to transaction.My question - if the seller puts the property in a trust, will this avoid the potential of a due on sale clause?

My $10,000 went to the EM for the sale.

I’m going to disagree with @Chris Seveney and say whether an assignee could force a sale directly would be a state law issue and heavily dependent upon the contract terms. 

I am curious at what stage of land development the sale was struck with builder.  

However, electing partnership or corporate taxation could be seen as a sale, causing unintended tax consequences.

If not then sale.  

But you have to purchase new investment property of at least as much as your net sale to avoid tax. 

.: Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I think it lies in that a lot of service providers in the real estate space are incentivized(money wise) to promote thier business.Real Estate agents are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Property managers are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Lenders, correct me if im wrong, are tied to some sort of bonus structure, the more loans they generate, the more money they make.More promotion leads to more awareness which leads to more money With all do respect I think REA's are commissioned sales people.

It just depends what your buy-box is... but we normally build to an 8-9% cap rate on the sale side.
