I agree with complications of ownership when it comes to Land Trust, and it also does nothing for asset protection. 

I was early, but I do now think they will pause cuts starting with their next meeting on January 29th (just 9 days after the inauguration).Folks in the press are already calling this month’s rate cut a “hawkish cut,” meaning that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take time in his press conference tomorrow to downplay the speed at which the Fed will cut rates in 2025.

We plan to remove them all to protect from tax increases on our current primary, but I am afraid that now that the other properties won't have homesteads, we may see skyrocketing tax bills and it will eat into already small cash flow from rental income.Does anyone have advice for how to handle this situation other than just increasing rent?

They are the ones protection your investment.
