You could structure the deal as an installment sale or a lease option so the property owner doesn't see a large capital gain tax payment for the sale.And good on you for helping out!

Hey @Scott Trench unfortunately real estate losses (active or passive) will not offset portfolio income from stock sale gains. 

Purchase price: $137,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Sale price: $285,000 This was a single family home in Bates Hendricks.

A bonus is if that company also manages and will stand behind that property after the sale to an investor like you.if you have the time, desire, risk tolerance, and knowledge, you can absolutely find and or create deals on your own.  

If the trust gifts you the property, it retains the original cost basis, potentially leading to high capital gains taxes upon sale.

I feel like a quitter, but I am not giving up on my dream and welcome all opportunities to learn and continue. 

Anyone have experience putting these kinds of opportunities in front of investors?

With hardwork and ceasing opportunities we've managed to be part of this major asset and making it even better.

OPIf you have a company with a Sales tax license.  

Unless they are offering much more cash than you can get on the flip (After lowering the price), it doesn't make sense to take the risk and sell sub-to because most of these loans are not assumable and you will take on the risk of "due on sales clause"
