Per below, I still have over $50,000 languishing in these POL investments, each now a good few years old with no end in sight . . . 

Capital gain is a little more complicated, with a pro rata share of principle received being taxed.

If you (like me) are interested in gaining "Listing Site Independence" (or LSI) you might consider joining Matt Landau's "Inner Circle" group on his Vacation Rental Marketing blog.

The loan itself would be considered a "Jumbo" loan (meaning over $424k) which means Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (conventional lenders) won't lend that high...so you cannot gain access to their renovation loan.  

NMD techniques will be the way I start and I hope you guys can provide me with insight and mistakes that were made and issues you've had so I won't make the same decisions..

I’ve searched this on google and I could not find any official answers so I came here in hope of insight.

I've gained a bit of a reputation locally as a quality rehabber.

So my grandmother is 80 years old and just stopped working officially last week.She owns a home and stills pays a mortgage on the property and since shes no longer working,does not have the means to pay her mortgage any more.I currently live with her and told her i wouldnt mind paying the full mortgage costs and all the bills that entail in owning a home but i would like to be a co-owner and when she passes the sole owner of the property.The house has been appraised at around 400 thousand and she owes currently about 225 thousand.I wanna know what options i have that maybe i havent heard of or seen,any insight or ideas are greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Alex.

In order to gain control of the property and to have a structure to attract more investors I'd like to have a record of assets that are owned by the company, which becomes difficult when the titles do not reference the company or any relationship with the company.
