What about the investor that wants to sell into a passive investment?

Case study:  Mrs. Choo has 7 rental properties, 5 of them houses she bought over time and two of them duplexes that she built.  She knows she wants to retire in 15 years at age 50. 

 

Margaret could choose to pay additional to the principal of the loans to pay them off at a 15 year amortization during the time she is earning a steady income.  At the time of her retirement, Mrs. Choo places the properties for sale with a broker specializing in land sales contracts or mortgage and trust carried by an owner. 

 

Seven buyers are found with attractive terms to Margaret.  The down payments total $220,000, which she is able to invest with her financial advisor in the stock and mutual fund market, and the payments from the land sales contracts have in turn created a stream of income to her of a total amount of $10,000 per month. 

 

Mrs. Choo graduates her sales clauses in each contract so that she is paid off in graduated steps, according to the wishes of her tax advisor; likely in step with the reduction of her other taxable income or to offset anticipated future losses.  The money from each satisfied contract is invested with her financial advisor.  The additional money is invested to create an additional stream of interest income and increased principal investment in the account.
