Are you looking to live in one unit and rent the others? 

I am starting with a small budget(100k-120k) so trying to understand which neighborhoods I should focus on, would love to get recommendations if you have :) I live south of the city and only like to go about 30 minutes away from home. 

Or paying off my debt, while I provide them with a nice house to live in instead of an apartment. 

I am a 37 year old high school basketball coach that is not very happy with where I am financially and am seeking a way out of living paycheck to paycheck.

My desire remains the same as it did when I joined, to try and build something with a partner that I can trust to improve the lives of my loved ones.

For llc, land trusts, or living trusts?

I live on the west side of London and would be happy to connect and learn more about your goals and see what I can do to help. 

The answer is yes, but it is generally found when the owner is also living in at least one unit (aka "House Hacking").

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

So they will rent without buying even though buying is available to them but they dont want to live where its affordable.
