Hey all you land trust junkies I just got an e mail from a title company in MO that closed a deal a few years ago and the buyer put it in a land trust they are trying to sell .. but the title company wont insure it as they claim land trust are not legal entities in MO.so title needs me to do a new deed to clean up title which of course we will do.. but just think if the sellers in other situations were not in the bizz like us and would not understand or respond or you cant find them all those land trust are dead in the water currently.  

But it's walking distance to the beach, in a great location, and had tremendous potential as a STR (which was the primary goal) and huge upside for appreciation.The only things I would rule out, and would advise my clients to consider walking away:  Major basement water problems, significant structural issues, and evidence that prior work was shoddy, or that work was done to cover up a bigger problem. 

Plumbing drains, water, and electrical were all VERY easy to run. 

Cities that require each:Soils reports ($6-7K for report & required work): Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Encinitas, La Mesa, National City, San Marcos, VistaStorm water management ($5-7K): Del Mar, Encinitas, VistaBuilding Verification Survey ($3-8K): Del Mar, Oceanside, San MarcosUtility upgrades are also a very important consideration, and City of SD in particular is enforcing more requirements than they have in the past, e.g. water fixture counts and requiring ROW work to upgrade.

The tenant received their water bill and found it was $500 when it's typically only around $30.

In my specific case, the tenants pay electricity & gas, but the previous owners were paying for water.
