Try to understand why:Let me explain why.Q.

I've done this several times, it can be a little awkward sometimes but most tenants understand.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this post.

Hi Hellen, not sure I understand what you are saying.

I understand it become tad difficult to refinance since some lenders wouldn't lend on the home in trust, but is it easy to sell a home in a trust, just like you are buying in a trust?

From what I understand, a 1031 exchange doesnt apply in this case, and so I will have to pay short term capital gains on the appreciation ?

I understand that I need to account for taxes, insurance, and other costs—Should I go with a LML and then do a refi later on?  

I could take look at it for you, and help you understand it if it's a standard lease, no need to pay me, although I am not a lawyer.  

I am assuming this is in TEXAS (I am editing this as I thought I was in the Austin Fourm, I understand now that you might not be in Texas)  as each state has their own set of laws that property managers must follow.  

Drive around the neighborhoods to understand the lay of the land - if you have someone who will take you around and explain, better yet.
