This househack strategy has been suggested to me considering the scarcity of cash flowing residential multifamily properties.

I'd suggest you meet Julie Hudleson Schmidgall with METEC.

What do you suggest?

The trust preparer suggested we put our rental properties into the trust as they are currently owned personally. 

In a perfect world an assignment (like @Chris Seveney suggested) would be recorded with each transfer of the note but in reality that does not occur.

As we can see the average retail investor is still quite negative.

If you have less money than will need to look into retail condo investing and mom and pop type stuff.

What are they suggesting you off the buyer’s brokers, another 4-6%?  

I had a conversation with a Probate/Estate lawyer and he suggested the following but what he said doesn't quite add up to what I have read so I want to see if I am just not understanding or if I am getting bad gouge.Advice was to create WY LLC that owns all properties, that is then "owned" by a land trust for additional anonymity, that the beneficiary is a regular Trust that owns everything else in my name.

There is an investor meeting there called RIG and I suggest going to it.. you could meet some of the locals..
