I would take the hint if you see a lot of rental inventory available in the area you are interested in as a high vacancy area like curtis bay for example

First, the transfer of assets to the trust has to occur long before even the hint of a lawsuit exists.  

Any tips or hints, personal strategies, or ideas would work!

Any helpful hint or a better approach?

It's bad customer service, but I've seen a compliance lawyer with a straight face say that inquiring is consenting; he kind of hinted that it was naughty to NOT run credit if someone calls to inquire about credit, since now the credit report doesn't accurately reflect that someone inquired about credit.

@Dan MikloszHere are some good hints your lender is pretty good.They don't get too beat up on Biggerpockets.They never send you a copy of their driver's license.They don't charge points up frontThey tell you up front that you have to pay for an appraisal or BPO, but it goes to a real AMCThey speak in acronyms (LTV, ARV, DSCR, DTI, ARM), but can explain what each meansThey know the difference between an ARM and a Fixed rate loanThey aren't afraid to tell you no, but will offer a solution instead.Just a few off the top of my head.Stephanie

The on-going effects of a multi-front trade war make me sweat.I think with the Fed's recent hints that they're willing to pull back rates, we may have some more room to run.

Devon:You do need to see your accountant.I'm not 100% clear on where you would like the income to be taxed, but if it is earned in the jointly held company, it will be taxed there.The retained earnings could then be paid out to the share owners as dividends (hint each of you should hold a separate class of shares).  

(hint: you will lose this fight).
