My question is what is the best way as far as avoiding paying the highest taxes for both parties to make this transaction?

Lol...I love your headline for the chain. 

My organization is constantly looking for multi-family deals(currently 2-4 unit but plans to cross into larger commercial deals soon).I'd love to connect and discuss with you about the Springs and how we can work possibly with each other.

The main thing a real estate license does for you is give you the right to represent someone other than yourself in a real estate transaction.  

However, being that the buyer is traditional, I don't think I'll be able to use "same-day" transactional funding.  

Cross all the T's and dotting all the i's for it to be perfect - than the market changes!!

So fingers crossed that all turns out well. 

Even if they can get conventional, and the property allows conventional, then the time to close is way too long for most of these transactions.

Brian is suggesting this scenario for a non assignable, non sandwich sort of transaction, where the buyer's intent is to purchase themselves (and occupy themselves) - not assign, and not sandwich.If anything, this builds even more confidence with a seller.

AlexBare with my spelling an grammar my wife was not around to clean up my post.I work better with a chain saw, Lawn mower, or  a tractor  then I do with a key board.
