I'm a practicing attorney myself, but I purposely avoid handling a lot of real estate transactions (ironic, isn't it?)

So, for example, if you want to donate land to a church you can do so on the condition that the church will only use the land for religious purposes, and if they don't then the land goes back to you.

Usually these Gurus teach you to essentially lie to the broker/realtor about your true purpose of assigning the contract.

This might not seem like much, but I plan on re-purposing the account for my venture and will be trying to grow it to 30,000 followers by the time I'm ready to hit the ground running.

It looks to me that although you are trying to do this for tax purposes, it can easily bite you like an alligator.

Although there are ways to start investing in the Israeli market without \ with low amount of money, it doesn't worth it, and the ROI you can get in the U.S market is much higher.This comment is true also to the U.S market - there are more expensive places than others, and there are places with higher ROI than others, its just a question of where.I am investing in Pittsburgh, PA - prices are pretty low , where you can get good rental property with a solid passive income for about 250,000 NIS, with something around 10% ROI after deducting all kind of expenses, like local taxes, management comapany fees, insurance, etc.Send me a PM so we can share phone numbers to continue and talk - I can share with you some of my experience and help you learn and get started.Also you can look at the local Israeli meetup I have started for this purpose  - sharing, learning and helping one another.

For the actual purpose of buying MY investment property (4bdr live in) I have financing mostly lined up but its not relevant to this post. 5.
