I had initially asked for a single trust given the simplicity of our situation but the estate planning lawyer pushed back saying most of his clients do two separate trusts for asset protection and that he would not recommend we do a single trust.

We know the benefits of house-hacking and how it can afford someone to get ahead in real estate, so we wanted our next purchase to pay for itself via Airbnb.

Hi there,It sounds like you have some exciting opportunities ahead with your upcoming inheritance.

It is a great market to invest in for both SFR and multi family, although out of state investors have been pushing prices up on multi family more than SFR.

It's cause people push where the simplest dollar in front of them shows.

Super new to BP and REI in general and looking to connect with folks who are a few steps ahead/in the tri-state area.sales guy to sales guy, if you see anyone in my network I can connect you with (or if there's any way at all that I can be of value), please let me know!

It's hard not to push it when you get close, but patience is the key, especially where we live.

It is part of a pattern that you see with some tenant-they push a little, get away with it and then it escalates. 

It also probably just a matter of time before insurance companies require this, especially on rentals, even if the law doesn't.Personally, I say get ahead to the law on these and install them now.

It's great that you're thinking ahead on how to optimize your systems.
