Unfortunately I have no friends that would buy me a house, and cannot think of a way to structure the purchase of my primary residence that would benefit an investor, or private lender other than if I could find owner financing, which is deffinatly an option if I could find it.Thank you for your thoughts.

Every item is important, and one thing I was told was to leave some small issues no structural or any major cosmetic things but something that the inspector can find.

If you are really going to hold forever and you really want to pass this on to your heirs...Get a good estate planning attorney NOW because you want to get these assets into protected structures that can increase in value without ever hitting the estate tax exemption limit.Over the years, I systematically moved income producing real estate into GRITs, GRATs and GRUTs and now no matter what happens it is all out of reach of the estate tax man and creditors.

Be careful not to buy more than a 60 day supply at a time.

@Liam Goble well my business is supplying Memphis investments to non US residents I live in Fiji but spend plenty of time in Memphis and New Zealand.

I was wondering what the general cost of an addition at ground level to the existing structure would cost.

Now I'm just appalled that y'all are out there rehabbing houses with absolutely no knowledge of structures (sorry, had to throw in that bit of sarcasm).

I agree with @Joe Gore - until you can afford to shell out thousands of dollars to an attorney to structure everything with a bulletproof vail, go with a strong liability insurance policy.

How would you structure it?

For anyone that has done this strategy, explain how I should structure my offer price with the seller and my assignment fee to the end buyer.
