If you're purchasing a lot for $200k you're typically going to need to budget another $100k+ to get the lot to the point where you could even start talking about building a home.

My goal: create an interest-free loan which is appealing to a potential homebuyer, yet doesn't make too big of a discount on my end.For example: If I sold my $300,000 house with 20% down ($60,000) over 30 years, at 6.7% interest rate: $1548.67 principal and interest per month1548.67 x 12 x 30 = $557,521.20What I would do would offer a lower monthly payment and no usury, but it would effectively be like a prepayment penalty.Arbitrarily, let's say 20% off the monthly payment, or $309.73 less per month: $1238.94 monthly payment.House would be sold at $446,018.40, which is $111,502.8 less than the total paid with a normal mortgage, but $116,018 more than the market price.

Typically, this is how I've done things and I've been able to get a few vacations for the family paid through the points and miles that I have accumulated.

Here's a simplified example of how this can work (or at least a good way to wrap your head around it):Let's say the property you're interested in is listed for $100k and for whatever reason, you think the seller would accept an offer at $90k (maybe it's been on the market for a bit and they've recently reduced the listing price).    

Would love to see an example form or anything that you found.

Typically a lot of those properties get bought before May or the owners figure out ways to pay the back taxes.A lot of the properties at the actual auction usually aren't very desirable pieces of land.

The issue is typically when there are multiple leases and it looks like rent by the room.

Accounting firms typically have nothing to do with this process unless somehow the title company subcontracted the preparation of the 8288 to them (which really isn’t necessary as it doesn’t require tax expertise, only familiarity with the FIRPTA procedures in general, which any title co who’s worked with a sale by a foreign person would likely know).This is indeed a weird situation and it definitely is unsupported by any authority in the code and regulations to send the withholding tax amount to an accounting firm acting as a middle man for the IRS unless they somehow expressly made an agreement to do so.Good luck with that

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

For example, Inheritance tax, capital gains tax ( not planning on selling but just in case), etc. do we create an llc within a trust or do we create a corporation. my accountant recommended a c corp and doing a title transfer but from the research I've done the leaves us liable to capital gains tax.
