Good thing you stumbled as you can see you already have received assistance.

I'd love to offer my assistance on any projects you may have in the area, if you'd like me to.

So, get a good lawyer when you do any contract.My experince has been, if a person is seeking a land contract, they can't get a loan from a bank or other lender.Land Contracts do work if done properly.

I am seeking suggestions to make this deal work?

Additionally, you could also use your skills to assist in projects with others.

A buddy of mine was screwed out of a deal and out of time and money after he assisted with bringing a California deal together from New Jersey.

Hey Mike,Make sure you do your homework if they do "gift" you the amount.Unfortunately there are limits on how much a parent/s may gift their children without triggering gift tax by the IRS.The IRS is the last entity on earth that you want to have future issues with.I would seek advice from a tax professional BEFORE making a final decision.All the best!

I'm new as well and you're on the right path seeking this info.

Yet and still its most beneficial for you to seek out other deals and secure profit for your business.

I'm a wholesaler and I may be able to assist you in future buy and holds.Happy investing!
