If you have time (don't compromise school for this), start looking at different multifamily units in your area and see if the rents from the units add up to at least 1% of the purchase price every month.

My concern would be their system getting hacked and all my log ins and passwords being compromised.

However, her mom is going for more chemo, which means her immune system is compromised. 

There are folks in Milwaukee that would do a roof for $5000, but you may be compromising on some aspect (price, speed or quality). 

Prince William is a good compromise though.

To me this seems like a decent compromise between a purchase that you want to make while reducing the cost as much as possible.

Additionally, if by the time you find out you are being sued, aren't all your other land trusts compromised already?
