Our demand letter adds that we will send the originals once we receive full payment.NEVER SEND ORIGINAL LOAN DOCUMENTS TO ESCROW UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN PAID OFF IN FULL.Some title and escrow companies are not used to dealing with private lenders and will occasionally hem and haw, but this is legal (and encouraged by my lawyer).

The transfer would be less than 2 years after the 1031 exchange and a broker had told us that there is a 2 year look-back and so the DST investment can't be changed (not sold) to another owner within 2 years without invalidating the original 1031.

However, all first-time homebuyers must complete a homebuyer counseling program.The grant may be used in conjunction with other programs, such as FHA, VA, THDA, USDA/Rural Housing and Community Investment Cash Advance.Homebuyers may be required to pay back a prorated amount of the Welcome Home grant if the home is sold or refinanced during the 5-year retention period.Property Requirements for the Welcome Home Program Property must be used as the homebuyer’s primary residence.Property may consist of 1 to 4 units.

I've now sold off all of those at handsome profits.
