You have to determine if the additional complications and costs are worth the investment in a Title Holding Trust or Land Trust.  

I have found some information that might be helpful John.There are government backed programs like Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation Loan and Freddie Mac Home Possible Renovation Loan, in addition to the FHA 203k loan. 

Additionally, it drives people away from the forums. 

Unlike true multifamily, meaning the county or city has the property categorized as multifamily, you can't use potential rental income from the additional units to help you qualify (if the home is single family per the appraisal, that is).

Interest only loans allows them to get a goal profit of $500-$600 per month per property.3) Each acquisition would require 20-25% down at an 80-100K purchase price. 4) Closing costs, and the Eric Spofford turn-key transaction fee of 10K would be in addition to the down payment and were not included for the purposes of calculating the cash-on-cash return.

Obviously do your own research before asking people on Facebook, but just another way to connect with hosts and see what they do and how they file those STR taxes and maybe some additional helpful info. 

Additionally, there are Facebook groups where you can find some decent help, but there has to be quite a bit more due diligence and vetting with any and all contractors.

This reminds me of the story of a wall-street banker convincing a fisherman who already has time for his friends / family to instead scale his fisherman business(get employees, integrate, then sell the business) all of which will lead him to be able to spend time with his friends and family.It already sounds like you have a great life - spending time wth family and in great health.Having additional money doesn't sounds like it would improve your life that much.

If you’re okay with the lack of control, it could Be good for you.A benefit in addition to being passive is that you can invest in whatever markets you’d like.

In addition lower rents will decrease the value of a property, not necessarily its appraised value, because no buyer will desire to pay retail for properties with reduced cash flow.
