But I have investors that bought properties with me pre 2020 and their properties have all gone up in value 30-40% so you never really know what external factors can positively or negatively affect each market.But even though prices have slightly gone up in this area, there are still a lot of good deals to be had, depending on what types of properties you're looking for and the type of neighborhood you're looking to invest in.  

Negatives to the trust option (Option #2)?  

Sometimes it can be positive and sometimes it can be negative it all depends on how you do your tax planning for when you file taxes. 

So, my question is if there is any benefit or negative impact on me as a landlord to get rent on time, or during tax filing or renewing the lease?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

If you can negotiate a 10-year balloon, you're more likely to be able to ride out any negative periods.

Real Estate investing has generally negative cash flow for decades, meaning cash flows mostly from your bank account into investing.

Or do I want to take a general concept and start working on getting the funding under way?

So if you are starting from a negative equity position it takes a lot of time to build that up.
