If you're a buy and holder, tell me... what do you look for?

The 6 month super lien is paid off before the first lien holder.

In April due to life circumstance I bought out my last remaining partner and now am a 100% shareholder but am in the process of dissolving the LLC and doing a quit claim deed to transfer title to my name.Question # 1 does a quit claim deed from a LLC to a personal holder of title affect the 1031 if it is done prior to closing (even though the quit claim deed was filed during escrow)I am trying to purchase a property with the "intent as a rental" though (in over 2 years) we may choose to do a "conversion" into a primary residence and definitely plan to keep the new property longer than 5 years.Question # 2 does the new 2018 tax law have any bearings on this plan.  

Lots of confusion as to what a 'contract or deed' actually is.First of all, much of the specific rights associated with this type of real estate contract depend on state laws, which vary somewhat.Secondly, the seller of the contract, i.e. property seller/lien holder, hold LEGAL title to the property. 

I have a client who lost his job. He was homeless for about 10 years and has been able to maintain his home for some time. No, he has fallen on hard times and doesn't want to lose his home. If you know anyone interest...

Most buy and hold-ers don’t do this.Your other option is to sell, get out for a bit of a profit, and re-invest into other options (single family, multifamily, apt buildings, etc).

Best regards, if note pays off early who ever orders payoff demand is going to have pulled title they will see your assignment and then will contact that bene and order a payoff.. they get their money you get the delta.. as your in second position basically.Now this is were it can get tricky if fraudsters get in this and don't record the assignments and the note holder who borrowed against it does not pay of  the underlying..

From a logic standpoint ( I know banks seldom use logic) they could sell to me for even 10 cents on the dollar or get nothing as all of the proceeds may get eaten up by the first lien holder.

It will cost more to setup, but will save money over time as well as providing much greater control and flexibility to you as the account holder.

Zillow will probably follow the same strategy since they have to think in terms of high quantities to make share holders any money.
