I’m sure there are indeed situations were it makes sense.This was not one of them.Ah, the trials and tribulations of not having BP…I ended up purchasing a 4 bed, 2.5 bath SFR with one of the bedrooms converted to a loft-like open room concept.It looked awesome!

I'm thinking maybe it would be better to do a trial run of a town first by renting in the area I want to invest in to get a taste of what neighborhoods are the best and how the local market is in general.

I have run trial properties through 3 of them and I am currently beginning my trial on 2 more this week.However, while my usage in a trial is important, it can't replace the experience that I am sure some folks may have on their favorite software package.

Was that a trial run that was abandoned?

Did my case go to trial? 

The seasonal variation makes it hard to use this as an indicator.

I believe the method I am trying is some variation of BRRRR.I would (house hack) live in one unit and rent the other(s).

Under a full guardianship that means we are untimately responsible for everything, income, expenses, housing and medical decisions, taxes, debts, mortgages, wills and estate planning, suing or being sued, investments, real property, unique asset liquidations like oil/gas leases, coins, fine art, notes, cars, foreign real estate, boats, wine, financial exploitation investigations including forensic accounting, criminal and civil trial testimony and recovery of funds when we are lucky, budgeting for liquidation of assets in order to fund medical and care expenses, (I could go on for hours); basically everything you can think of in your life... imagine someone else having to do that for you because you're incapacitated.In my work I'd estimate I've been involved in the sale of 300-400 properties, maybe 100 probate cases and many hundreds of guardianship and DPOA cases.  

I'm going to trial it now.  

@Daniel BujakThe approach of incorporating and offering shares (either voting or preferred) to money partners/investors comes with its own trials and tribulations.
