The trust has already been set up for estate planning and we are beginning to fund the trust.

I love the idea of fix & flip right now @Abigail King, especially right now here in Chicago and I am sure it is similar for you in central Illinois -- it's winter so there are way less buyers and if you can get under contract soon you can likely rehab over the winter months and hit the spring market!   

Great for Iowa winters.  

That's missing the forest for the trees, but you do need to manage cash flow because if you're buying conventional you'll come across DTI issues soon and if you're buying nonQM it needs to be 1:1 ratio at minimum to be qualified without unfavorable terms. 

My husband and I (ok...my husband) are pretty handy, so we aren't afraid of doing a lot of work ourselves, and I know dealing Iowa winters will mean we need to take some precautionary measures, but it seems like low cost of entry for investing (we just got our first SFH this fall)

STRs also have the seasonal aspect to it for the winter time in COS and long term rentals are steady. 

If cash flow is your goal, you might look into areas like Jonesboro, Forest Park, Lithonia, or Stone Mountain, where RTP ratios tend to be higher these are just a few areas I'd suggest.

Rents that are significantly lagging market go up $75.I chose the Winter timeframe because no one wants to pack and move during the holidays and cold.

In that case, you don’t have to file an Illinois return and we will withhold your Illinois tax liability (equal to 4.95% for Estates/Trusts & 7% for Entities of your Illinois income) from the April distribution.
