Do you rely on specific data sources, gut instincts, or perhaps a blend of both?

We've been to 38 of the big 63 National Parks; both Hot Springs and Broken Bow, which kind of cater to that same crowd, ever seemed appealing enough to visit.It doesn't mean that they are bad places to invest, but the anecdote needs to corroborate the data for me to want to cut a check and stress out for several months hoping it will work.

It's not really a benefit to be confusing.What they want to do is have the property transferred into a trust (days, hours, minutes) prior to settlement.

What wouldn't be better than a Roth which is tax free, has no maintenance issues, and is "instantly" transferred to your heirs upon your death (any account names beneficiaries and is transferred on death).As always, it comes down to what one is comfortable investing in, or having somebody else invest / manage for you, and what can you effectively make money.

@Coley JamesYes you would transfer the property via quit claim deed to the llc.

Now onto the real estate...If you truly want to protect yourself against STR regulations only purchase property with the intent of  operating as an STR where these three principles apply: (1) the use is allowed, (2) the use requirements are protected by in place permitting and licensing and (3) the permissions are transferable through a sale.

I'm not sure where your data comes from, but there were more gun fatalities that auto fatalities.

I would like to put "friendly" liens on them as a barrier to fraudulent transfers, which are apparently on the rise. 

First step is looking at the data of your comps.

People have done loans subject to but the original borrower stays on the loan and it could be at risk to be called once a deed is transferred
