In the income example maybe there is a way to look at it pre-tax on gross income for what we declare to a lender etc as our actual earned overall income; and maybe some prefer to look at net income after taxes.  

Rubbish.Real estate did crater in 2008, alleged rent control randomness has nothing to do with not being able to extricate oneself from the situation once it starts (or pandemics declared so free rent, etc.), and try searching the internet for "activist investors" before you say that the only choice is to not invest.

For a hands off investor its just a claim and another service ticket to be outsourced.Go over your declaration page you will have lots of decisions to make.  

It does not give you the protection of a properly formed LLC, but it does provide a bit of anonymity and can spell out the division of income to the beneficiaries in the trust docs.There should be no transfer tax involved with the trust, and it will not trigger any due-on-sale clause thanks to Garn-St Germain.BTW, if you do use a trust, only record the Deed into Trust, but NOT the entire trust declaration. 

Too many people take a "course" and declare themselves foreclosure experts.   

Most obvious one is why do you need to 'hand sign' all the declarations?

The FTX bankruptcy is going to be a little more involved than an individual borrower declaring bankruptcy to halt a foreclosure sale on an NPL! 

And remember to declare your rental income on your taxes so you can use that income to help you qualify for the next house hack!

And some rental history would also go a long way to demonstrating your intent - both because you have income to declare. 

In less than 24hrs there is articles coming out from Real Estate know-nothings reporting on it declaring there "knowing" on how this will so radically change things, with a narrative as if buyer agency just magically became free, lol.
