Hi Andy,I'm near Seattle, WA but I invest in local farmland, although it's for the transferable development rights that I can clip off and resell at a profit.

Finally, the reason they are getting away with it is because they are pulling from their investors' 401K instead of bank transfers and wire transfers.

Now that I'm using mortgage lenders everyone is telling me that I have to close in my own name and then transfer title to an LLC or land trust, unless I get a commercial loan with higher interest rates.

In fact, I've done what is essentially this same deal as posted.The fee title needs to be transferred so asset is no longer part of the estate and in your control. 

The CFD will bind you to the terms of payment which if the Tenant/Buyer meets those obligations you must transfer the title to the Buyer's name.  

Hello I'm a young college student, I am currently transferring schools to head back home so I can get a head start on the real estate game and still attend school.

Unqualified sales are those which are not arms-length, such as transfers between affiliated parties, those involving government agencies, transfers where ownership conveyed is less than 100%, or those involving banks, loan or mortgage companies and others.

Here are a few observations from my 25 years of investing in the area :- There will always be a good number of foreclosures in the area as most military buy with zero or very little down and when they are transferred in 3-4 years do not have the equity to sell and when they become a landlord have very little in reserve so they can't handle vacancies or repairs- Tends to be a better rental market than for flipping.

You can transfer your retirement funds to a Rollover as Business Startup (ROBS 401k/PSP) in fund a real-estate operating company.

When closing happen, that means the money is transfer and the property is in the hands of the new owners, (this is correct; yes?)
