Most times any transfer of the deed will trigger the due on sale clause.

As a newbie I would like to know the answer to that question as well as I am considering a partnership too.

There are many different ways to get creative in doing real estate deals, seller carry backs, partnerships, private lenders, using other collateral, using money from retirement accounts, exchanges, trades, etc.

Getting a bank to go there isn't easy for those new in the business as Chris mentioned.Creative financing is the use of assets and in some cases your abilities and experience in facilitating an acceptable financing arrangement in a transaction.Several ways to lower your entry expenses, seller financing, assumptions, obtaining rights to profit from a contractual interest, cross-collateralization, trading properties, sweat equity from construction or management contracts, acquiring liens, partnerships.....commercial opens other avenues and the list goes on.Great point John!

I am completely facinated with real estate and learning as much as I possibly can before I "pull the trigger" on my first deal.

Hey everyone-I have a partnership questions, I just purchased a home to flip.

The "lot" was purchased in our LLC, but we considered keeping the house for ourselves, so transferred to our personal names to make a refi easier once construction was completed.Now, we have decided to sell, and need to transfer title back to LLC for the resale, but we're concerned about triggering FHA's flip rules - is that likely?

I'll post if we pull the trigger.

Do the research for yourself and take the steps needed to invest safely and actually pull the trigger in your own investing business.All the best,John Fedro

Well she pulled the trigger and within 18 months she was just about broke and guess were she has lived the last 5 years.
