Enduring this arrangement for just a year or two can position you favorably to replicate the process and gradually build a substantial portfolio of properties just from the HH method alone.

For Summerland specifically, occupancy dips April through June, peaks a bit in July, then drops off again until it gradually climbs back in November.

She will get each beneficiary to sign off on allowing this to happen, lessening their inheritance cash-wise but keeping the family in a home.My idea is that the trustee daughter could purchase the home, but could do so instead through a sort of owner-financing where the Trust finances the asset to her directly rather than buying it in full at great cost and taking out a mortgage on an already paid for property:- Property is in Trust and is fully paid off,- Trust finances the property to Trustee for closer to market value, and payment can still be set at 1500- No/less down payment required- Any interest rate, maybe 0- Tenant family makes rent payment of 1500, which pays off the property and pays into Trust- Beneficiaries' % share accrues gradually as payments are made- Set future balloon payment if necessary (if Balance required at a certain time, for college, etc.)This would decrease the out-of-pocket cost for the Trustee purchaser, and increase the amount that each beneficiary will receive (eventually).I have no Trust experience, though, and I'm hoping to hear from the experts.

Thus, the investment grows like it's sitting in a roth 401k/IRA       Then when you die, your heir gets a step-up in basis, thus eliminating all the prior capital gains over decades, but only up to 13.6 mil this year :(              Debt Funds (like mortgage note investing) can also be very lucrative but I don't know/understand the tax savings/issues in that class yet, still learning :)              Equity REIT investing can give you great siloed real estate exposure in 11 major asset class sub-types, but don't offer the direct tax benefits as direct RE ownership does above, as the REIT gets those benefits when it transacts and as a corporation passes those benefits secondarily/indirectly onwards to us investors as high dividends and gradual stock price appreciation.

To see how you are with being a landlord again, then gradually scale from there. with the remaining cash on hand, you always have the option to pay it off whenever you'd like or keep it on hand for any repairs/ maintenance that comes with being a landlord.
