End result was a 30 month term, 70-30 split (in my favor) and I get to keep the washers at the end of the 30 months.

So you better get your property free and clear while you can, before your government changing the rules in their favor.

That would be great...I guess my next question would be is there a way to have the units constantly leased out so that it still works in my favor as well as the sellers.

Meaning ones you closed and profited on...I'd love to hear everyone's WORST negotiation that went in your favor too...

Update: my offer of $45K was rejected in favor of a higher offer.

Without thorough Due Diligence, how can you possibly negotiate a deal in your favor?

And no I'm not in favor of unfettered police surveillance but the reality is that technology allows national security and law enforcement agencies access to people and personal information like never before.

The laws in India and China definite favor their citizens when it comes to business ownership, investment and trade moreso than most western European countries and the U.S.A.

I would recommend that you find an area where price to rent ratio's are favorable and then develop a support team starting with a good property manager.Good luck.Chris

Dory makes good points, a later poster, sorry can't name him, suggested doing this strategy with consent of the lender and I agree it's best to do so and consent can be construed by notice, Bryan was correct in structuring it as a wrap or a second obligation (the best way IMO) doing deals through a trust can smell shady, but placing a property in a trust for estate planning reasons is specifically addressed as an exception to the due on sale, so after your estate palnning is accomplished I suppose you could sell for liquidity, not real shady, and the sub-2 out of all installment transaction will usually or most likely be the most favored method by an judge looking to equity in the transaction.
