I joined BP to gain as much knowledge on REI as possible.

That way you both gain experience in the business, learn creative ways to find lending, the pitfalls of REI (not like you see on the TV shows) and you can possibly have input on the layout of the property, which could be valuable selling point in the future. 

Would it possible for my parents to transfer the 100k to the account of an LLC in my name while avoiding capital gains taxes?

I'm sure it has been asked numerous times in the past, but for some reason I can't seem to find it.I have been lurking through hubzu and doing research (watching listings and making notes) to gain some rough numbers on what is happening with the properties I am interested in.  

He says they sell the mortage a few month later and gain a higher % selling it versus charging the buyer upfront.

This kind of thinking is emotionally based and does not take into account affordability, price/rent ratio, net present value or other rational factors.Per The Economist, "If you take the 24 years covered by the US data and divide them into three, then the average house price gain when real rates were high was greater (at 2.25%) than when real rates were low (1.7%)".So how does this play out in a long term negative interest rate environment?

To all:I recently finished a flip, after it was done I had a friend who saw what we did told her sister (who apparently is in the market for a new house this summer) and now the sister wants me to do the same for her....
