But for death... would it be acceptable for me to execute a notarized document between us like a "Designation of Successor Shareholder" wherein I declare that in the event of my death that she is deemed the Successor Shareholder of 100% of my SCorp's stock and entitled to all rights and privileges that such a position entails?

Work with her, but be firm in your position.

In her position there is absolutely no way I woudl sign a quit claim.

The buyer ends up out the option money and is in a worse position than had they just rented.

Deed of trust investment) is where your the lender holding a first position deed of trust against property.

If I got new PCS orders, I'd probably try to rent the house out at that time, as I would have hopefully already established a positive cash-flow at competitive rents when I purchased.Brian,I see your point about being more clear in my reasoning for using an LLC.

That was a "once in a lifetime situation" that I don't see repeating any time soon, at least not in my lifetime.I have another one I bought pre construction in NC in 2004 and it rents well and does cash flow positive, but the HOA fees keep going up and I later found out the whole complex was built with a cheap roof, siding, and windows and even though its only 8 years old I am starting to get assessments (extra money I have to pay for repairs as a group) on items that should still be good for years.I want to sell it but I have a tenant with a year lease in it, and plus I am pretty sure I would not be able to get more than maybe 20% more than I paid for it in 2004.

The way you interact with people will naturally make them want to do business with you if you are positive and not in a 'hard sell" mode.I just can't believe these potential speakers didn't GET IT.

There recently was a big thread about this and most had positive experiences.And, for what it's worth, they are not government owned properties.

Just keep a positive attitude
