No tax so far I think.2) If I convert that partnership interest into shares in a PUBLICLY traded UPREIT I trigger tax on the deemed sale/exchange of the partnership interest into stock of the REIT?

Why would a private lender loan to you with no experience?

Then they took over your child's education with public schools.

Selling them for something would still be financially better than donating them, even if you could find a non profit who would take them.

A lender?

And do I seriously need to point out the blatantly obvious piece of a NON professional doing work to a property to make it livable?

Why would a borrowerr go back to that lender?  

Hey Kaylan, one effective way is to identify active buyers directly from public data — especially recent cash purchases in the county.It helps you build a buyers list of people who are actually buying right now, instead of collecting random emails.Many wholesalers also track repeat buyers, LLC purchases, and investors who bought within the last 60–90 days — those are usually the most responsive.If you ever want to compare different ways of sourcing or organizing buyer activity, happy to share what I’ve seen work well

.- My goal is to close on both homes by the end of the year or early next year.If anyone has experience with gift of equity transactions for invest properties -- especially in North Carolina or involving out-of-state buyers -- or can recommend a loan officer, lender, or real estate attorney familiar with this setup, I'd really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!

One approach I’ve found effective is sourcing data from official public records and licensed platforms, then verifying it before outreach.
