What are some ways that I could ease the land owners mind on this issue?

HelloI am trying to see what would be the best option my mom has a home and she wants to down size for ease of her age.

Some say that the benefits of this is that it gives you an extra layer of protection, anonymity (if you have the holding LLC in a state like Delaware) and additional ease in transferring money between the LLCs.

This helped put my mind at ease.

Glad things have eased up slightly.

There are areas that will still appreciate, and/or hold their value, even as the overall market eases up.

There are benefits in ease and speed of which they can close, but in exchange for the lender taking on more risk you are always going to pay a lot more in points and interest than you would on a commercial loan with a local bank. 

I interviewed a lot of CPAs here in San Antonio that didn't seem to have a clue about a lot of real estate related issues, but he was able to answer all my questions with relative ease.

Few landlords and PMs do this and I just don't understand why.Housing Authorities' ease of business varies widely across the country but I find in general, once you learn the processes, you can count on them every time so if something isn't going as it should, you can reach out to keep the train moving on paperwork and such.Feel free to reach out if I can help further.

This should ease your mind.
