Assuming all the facts are finally on the table at this point, I would opine that the agent involved is disregarding their fiduciary responsibility to their client (the property owner) and possibly violating the realtor(r) code of dealing honestly and ethically with their customer (you).If the agent is unwilling to present an offer, the property owner should get a new agent. 

Have I used the calculator correctly and would the numbers alone (disregarding the negative press) make this a decent deal. 

The trust - is it disregarded or regarded - does it have it's own EIN and  file a tax return of it's own? 

@Zachary SchimenzHaving multiple CPA's/Accountants is likely going to be more costly than just having one CPA.If the small business / rentals are owned in some type of business entity(not a disregarded entity), the accountant who prepares your individual return will need to wait for the business return to be completed before he can proceed with the individual return.

As a non-lawyer I'll address the cost aspect here.Everyone seems to want anonymity and maximum protection.Realize the more layers the more yearly costs.Here are some quick questions you can ask to get an idea of the yearly costs:1)  Will the LLC have to file it's own Federal return or will it be disregarded for tax purposes?

I lost everything because I bought strictly for appreciation (which was obviously a bad idea) and disregarding CF, and when the market crashed I couldn't hold on.

It’s very simple and if they are true pass-through disregarded entities then it won’t make a difference from a tax perspective.

Disregard this post pls.

For tax purposes a single member LLC is a disregarded entity and as such shows up as schedule c on your income tax return. 

Would you adjust your business model to account for the current market environment and disregard the rigidity of tried and true models that currently exist?
