A retitling of a property (with no cash exchanged) should not trigger a transfer tax.

Assumptions, refinancing, partnership, co-signing for partnerships, seller financed structures, backing contractors, assuming installment sales by guaranteeing payments...the borrower fails, I get the place by a deed in lieu, buying notes with a "double closing", the list goes on.One of my best was a commercial deal, about 120% seller financing with the seller providing cash to fund the non-profit to develop the project, 850K or so and paying me to put it all together.

Another factor in favour of a corporation - as opposed to a partnership amongst yourselves - is that there are four of you.

I agree that it is important for you BOTH to agree on every property you acquire, otherwise it is not much a business partnership is it?

You're in the solutions business and each market segment will have different triggers.

I have a small partnership in Phoenix where we own 6 of the 7 units in a 2007 built condo complex.

General partnership, limited partnership, joint venture etc.

Work on deals as if you would buy them even if you aren't pulling the trigger yet.  

Hey BP,

I have a possible wholesale deal that I'm not sure how to work, another wholesaler has a hot deal that I want to cash in on. He does not want to do a JV on the deal but is willing to cut me in a %...

This is such a great site, I wish I would've known about it sooner so I could have pulled the trigger already.
