With Uncle Sam writing the checks what incentive do they have to improve themselves?

wow @Sam Leon!!  

Specifically, I am interested in how to receive the money from the lender account to my own to make the purchase without Uncle Sam seeing it as a taxable income.

@Sam Grooms @Carl Fischer @Lance Lvovsky @Basit Siddiqi @Michael PlaksThank you all for your insight.I want to be sure I am getting the right info from my CPA. 

Or as @Sam Cravens pointed out, Houston is so large that it is really not one market at all, but a conglomeration of smaller local-area markets., e.g. what you see happening in Tomball, doesn't mean you can expect the same in Katy or Conroe, and so forth. 

Sam, If you come across a project give me a call I have lenders we do billions with salivating for condo conversion deals.
