Can I buy a property, rent it out for six months, then re-sell it to this other, totally independent corporation I own?

This seems both obvious and difficult to prevent.

Usually there are large and unavoidable transaction costs involved in selling/buying properties. It's a liquidity event on a large amount of capital so it's pretty much inevitable that government want to get involved with taxes, duties, fees etc.
