Too much back scratching.With politics, it is a personal choice we have the freedom to exercise and it usually leads to argument with no constructive outcome.The main thing I've been concerned with is the 250k tax bracket plan.

My guesses are:* they can't get finance* it just doesn't occur to them - home ownership is outside their expectations* they are concerned that they won't cope with the bills (eg repairs)

I am concerned at the rate in which the government is begining to control different bodies banks, insurance, brokers...etcI'm more concerned about some type of attack or test on america if Obama is elected.

A few methods here are: 1.

My concern is that they get other offers.

By taking control of their future, IRA funds holders who self-direct can immediately be at work in the multifamily and apartment real estate market and start generating significant wealth in a retirement plan without the concerns and fears of the plunging world credit markets.

Personally, I'd be more concerned if it did have a COA (condo *** board-not hoa) You do need to address long term issues such as repair and maintenance, of buildings and grounds, whether it is apartments or homes, and how that is done would be different.

Larry, That would be one method, but would depend on the lender.If the property has not yet been purchased, you could buy it using an LLC, get the commercial loan in the name of the LLC and then transfer the ownership of the LLC, but this would also depend on the specific lender.The best option I see in this situation is to use the land trust.If you do not care about the new buyer knowing what your profit is, why not simply assign the contract to him/her for yoiur spread, and forget about the LLC and land trust?
