Yeah I put 25 percent down.

If you fail to do so, then one supposed to begin backup withholding on any payments, at the rate of 28 percent of whatever the total payment is (of course, the IRS would also like one to turn any withheld amounts over to them as well).  

(they do not have to worry about the $4.5 million lifetime cap),and I'm assuming my "risk" is not taking the stepped up basis on the property since they gifted the property while alive. other than that, not sure it is a scenario to consider.E) OR a creative BP financing solution!...

Thank you Juan, For sharing the info.I already own two houses one is townhouse which we have rented and other one is single family home in Frisco TX where we live .We have paid 20 percent down for both the properties.I have found some newly built Duplex homes ...I have a savings of 50k .I'm wondering how should I ask lenders to help me get loan for investing in these brand new great income generating Duplex homes ?

There are thousands of ways to cut spending costs in life and in a professional sense, I'm just not sure I'd recommend inspecting a home yourself without a lifetime of doing it. 

Effect a life time saving and investment strategy and you won't fail.

Why can I have somebody buy it off of me very easily for a wholesale fee is because it is a great deal that represents an acceptable risk to the investor because there is a minimum of 33 percent gross return on cash investment built into the price.The fact of the matter is that I am very, very good at finding, appraising, negotiating and closing deals.  

FHA loans can be refinanced with a loan-to-value of as high as 97.5 percent, but in some areas of the country home values have not recovered from the low point after the housing bubble burst.

Curious what others think good percentages are to be invested in real estate compared to the various investment vehicles such as stock market, peer to peer trading, etc. How are you chopping up your nest egg?Personall...

Now if your brother tries to compel the sale of the DE Home, you can make an offer to buy out his 50 percent interest.
