Hey all my name is Laurence I’m a brand new member of np I  live in Orlando fl I’ve listened to about 100 episodes of the podcast I have zero real estate experience I’m looking to buy my first property to house hack this year I have a decent amount of money in the savings account I could use for a down payment also have a good credit score I don’t have a high monthly income unfortunately but just looking for any advice or tips or friends to bounce ideas off I’m debating which market would be better between the central Florida area or the Tampa area I also would love to get involved in flips at some point 

-Transfer the property into an LLC – This may allow me to take ownership while potentially avoiding property tax reassessment, however this sounds like an involved process-Establish a living trust for my aunt and mother – The trust would specify that I inherit the property upon their passing and provide step up in cost basis but i'm worried that the living trust can be modified to have me removed (who knows what can happen) - My mother is somewhat volatile.I would like to live in the property and my mother will live in her second property with her husband. 

Its great that you have saved some money and have a desire but investing involves a risk of loss.

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

I never could get a foothold into the NY wholesaling community because of the Atty involvement in contracts. 

Definitely a question for a tax attorney/accountant, especially with the dollar amounts involved. 

If $100-$120 aligns with similar properties, then it’s a fair rate—especially considering the size of the home and the work involved.

Specifically, I am interested in learning more about syndications, working with lenders, lawyers, CPAs, and other professionals involved in cross-border real estate deals.

My plumber also said that it wasn’t the tenants fault and the city could also make me change the entire sewer line so I shouldn’t get the city involved.
