Hi Phillip, ....just a couple quick thoughts on this:  a. on real property, that agreement (assuming it is not labeled a lease-purchaser) would be called a land contract (or contract for deed) and the case would likely be strong that the Buyer would be responsible for repairs; however, with personal property as a mobile home, this type of agreement would likely be treated as an installment purchase...but technically renting until the purchase is complete and title transferred.; and b. when cases are presented in municipal courts regarding rents, defaults, landlord neglect, the landlord-tenant laws and courts would favor the tenant and hold the landlord responsible for Repairs (particularly as it concerns keeping the unit "tenable"). 

At the phoney posted rated of 4.64% the banks would get about 70 cents of every dollar of your mortgage payment with 30 cents going to the principal.If actual mortgage rates do go up to 4.65% which is what the Government and banks seem to be setting us up for, it would be a transfer of wealth from Canadians to banks.

@Michael Le We indeed see that the $50K limit of money transfer per year for Chinese is indeed being enforced much more strict since January this year.

Hi Eleena, I am in a similar situation I have terrible credit but I have capital around 80k in cryptocurrency that I could easily liquidate and I have about 500k in equity in my current home.

The buyer put's in purchase agreement that the Seller provides the following:rent roll records for last 2 years with copies of all leases, security deposit statements and application records are includedsecurity deposits amounts are listed and are transferred with interest to date of sale.

( carried interest, hurdle rate, after 100% return, etc.)Do you allow the transferability of partnership interests, if so, how do you determine their value?

If I were to buy a property to rent before my buisness is formed would it be easily transfered to my buisness down the road?

I believe in Canada the title/deed to the property must transfer into your name before you can resell.

One of our private investors has asked for some guidance re: transferring to a SD-IRA.Who are the trusted and main companies doing Self Directed and who have you used??
