It is one of the true "grey areas" of real estate, as there are many debates as to whether or not it will trigger the due-on-sale clause and/or whether the lender will accelerate or call the loan.

Due to the harsh economic climate, real estate is at bargain prices here and I'd like to bring something great to this city, I just don't have the financial means to do so alone.

Old Oriental Proverb: Before kicking sleeping trigger like Michael Quarles, you best have a plan to deal with the teeth!

We offer a set concession (typically $3600) which is simply applied to the buyers closing costs, doesn't trigger rent rate appraisal, and doesn't exceed 6% FHA max allowables.Once you try to use a rent credit to "just reduce the sales price" it creates a mess.

Each new roommate triggered a new roommate agreement, but my primary was always on the hook to me.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and getting my first investment property, but I'm torn on how to go about this; condo or SFR in a hot rental neighborhood.

I have come to the uncomfortable and harsh reality that I could be (and usually am) supremely qualified for whatever level of whatever it is that I do, and still wind up screwed.

Another reason this would be a bad idea is that you would trigger a full sale instead of an installment sale.
