We are mainly buy and hold, but are more and more becoming transaction engineers as we learn new techniques.

I sell Rent to Own, that way I am protected from the safe act. 2/1 400 a month $2,500 down 4 years 2/2 450 a month $3.000 down 5 years 3/2 500 a month 3000 plus down 5-6 years Odds are you will get most homes back every 2 years.

One thing that we had talked about is finding a note buyer during escrow who would be willing to write a letter of commitment to purchase the note at a later date, preferably after some seasoning so as to avoid SAFE laws.

No real estate sale transaction has occured, but check with state law as you exit the company, your interest will be a conveyance and taxes may be due on the transaction.Otherwise, check on the SAFE Act issues in your state.

In gereral I would say a safe place to think about starting with an interest rate is half way between what they would make on a CD and what a bank would charge you for the loan.

This seems to fall inline with the SAFE Act requirements, the holder will be responsible for the proper originantion, just makes sence as if a note were originated in violation of law the originator or original hold who was liable simply sells the note off, it becomes the next guys issue to enforce the note and there would be few teeth to bite the note seller or the originator and none for the current holder.

Better safe than sorry :)

There are some techniques to convert your rental income into W-2 income, but bear in mind that you are taking income that is not taxed for self employment taxes and making it taxable. 

Is it a safe area?
