Somebody mention that using land trust is the solution for my problem.

Also I am located in southeast Michigan and would really like to hear from others in the area and see how you are doing with the extremly slow market we seem to be experiencing.Thanks.

I have been very pleased with a company called Equity Trust Co. in Ohio.

i'm trying to determine if there is way to sell a flip property without incurring short term capital gains. other than land trust or lease option, are there any ideas out there to be creative.jim

I happen to use Equity Trust Co. in Ohio and have been very pleased.

However for us starting out in the game we can't just tell a bank that, we have to earn their trust for a few years.

Perhaps put in a title holding intervivos tltle holding trust?

The in-laws don't trust the lady, and the lady doesn't trust the in-laws.

But if I have not been pre-approved for a mortgage, and I'm offering all cash at closing, how does the realtor trust me in knowing that I will actually come through with the cash at closing?

Trust me, I'm working feverishly as we speak to find someone who's a bit more established and interested in the deal.
