Does anyone know how to get the profits transferred from Colombia to the US?

Ask for a balance transfer check, make sure it's not categorized a cash advance.

A closing occurs at the point in a real estate transaction when the title of the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. 

When title is pulled the pending litigation will be discovered and there won't be a transfer of ownership until it's approved by the court, administrator, etc. 

@Greg H.The property is in Massachusetts so the process is much lengthier which is why we’re seeing more deed in lieu transactions.The transfer was directly to the Secretary of HUD, not to the bank.

If you read the conditions, the proposed transfer cannot violate the terms of the deed of trust... the 12 month occupancy as primary residence requirement is specifically mentioned.Further, the validity of transfers such as this require that the lender be given notice and the opportunity to review and approve the proposed transaction... which approximately 0% of BP users are doing.

For instance, for my first purchase, if I wanted to buy a duplex would I then, at any point, be able to transfer that duplex to an LLC if purchased with a mortgage?

., broker fees, transfer taxes, etc).I was in a similar situation with a rental and debated selling earlier this year.

If you want to take control of the property without title transferring, to avoid the seller having to pay off the mortgage, you could do something like a lease option, where you make monthly payments to the owner in title (perhaps the same as the loan terms you discussed) and you are given the right to purchase the property any time in the future at a set price ($143,000).

Another option I have used are the balance transfers from credit card companies.
