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.

Cost of living increases are real.

Story I got was that she lives out of state, thought she had family local to help manage it but they are moving.

When you sign almost all mortgage closing packages, you are signing an Occupancy Clause that states you are intending to live in the home for 12 months.
