These banks have REO's (bank owned properties taken back in foreclosures) that they are always eager to get rid of, but especially so at the end of the year, for tax purposes.  

My problem is financing.Since my existing rental is new (my bank will not accept that rental income until I have had it for one at least one year), it is essentially weighing me down for the purposes of getting another loan. 

That's been on purpose...

It may not be on purpose but, it's still discouraging.

I actually meant knocking on the door of the address listed for tax purposes.

This is building toward my definite purpose of completely replacing my earned income with passive income within 5 years.

What is your purpose and where do you want to be!

So like most people will probably say majority of your calls from a AO list will be landlords either on purpose or by mistake but they will likely be landlords. 

Once this happens you would change the beneficiary to the end buyer from the seller.True that putting a property in a trust for estate planning purposes does not violation the due on sale clause. 

If you want that house for REI purposes, they might even become your renters after a short sale.
