Derek,Just curious if you found a solution to this question?

I would then approach the tenant and work out a solution that is far for the both of you.  

Its a consideration, but unfortunately not as simple a solution as I would hope for. 

MUCH better tax treatment.

Sam - did you ever find a more cost effective solution to this than SaniStar?

It doesn't change ownership, just trustees.Talking to an estate planner, a good cpa, etc. will help you find a solid solution. 

It is a relatively new law and solution provided by some states.

If you decide to do this make sure to plan ahead and track the income and expenses separately for each unit since LTR tax treatment is different than STR. 

I agree though - the solution is definitely a 'who not how' kinda thing!

I heard some believe no local agent that knows what they are doing would  sign this and on the other hand some are very skeptical the city would even  enforce this given the domino effect it may create. since I am considering buying a new investment property in Cleveland I  would like  to know: are there any solution if the city decide to enforce this?
