Just this week end we cashed out 3 buildings and have a mobile part, a VFW Hall and two commercial properties ready to sell.So ------ 18 years ago I went to work for an auctioneer - learned the business and became an auctioneer and started my own company.So-------- I would suggest that you look into selling your contracts (buildings) using the auction method of marketing ----IT'S GREAT - the great thing is you don't need to deal with a buyer's agent, their bank or worry about turn-downs due to any number of thing.

If I am purchasing a quality property at 20% or higher discount off of fair market value I don't even bother with numbers I just grabbed the deal before somebody else does.

The seller would qualify for installment method of reporting capital gains.

If he doesn't have experience in this type of properties, it might be hard to get financing as it does not quality for conventional financing and business lenders are usually looking to start slow and conservative with new account relationships.  

Has anyone ever used this methods rather than a cash purchase before?
