@Chris SeveneyI do want to minimize liability considering I intended to have multiple properties under one LLC capped at 10 just because somewhere along the line I was told this is good practice.

The new homes will be mostly built in the burbs, and I expect as we move forward outside of many city limits or in smaller cities where the builders can control the narrative with less regulations, less inspections, less red tape, lower requirements.Due to the number of people moving though, we'll see some urban infill as well I expect. 

Considering going in with other investors on a condotel unit in Las Vegas.Do condotels have anything different about them - as far as taxation/regulation/classification vs any other type of short term rental?

However, investors should consider property taxes, local regulations, and neighborhood trends carefully before making decisions.

@James Sedano If you feel this strongly in favor of having the trust, I would recommend a firm who specializes in estate law or has a practice group who does rather than a generalist.

A qualified professional appraiser will generate a comprehensive analysis considering factors such as sales comparisons, highest and best use, market conditions, and income generated following Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice guidelines.

I know there are new rules and regulations regarding tax liens this year.

What are the regulations around Joshua Tree? 

I hold and practice real estate out of Texas.

It wouldn't make sense to choose a city where you'd spend significant time and money battling regulations just to conduct normal business operations.
