For FHA to work, if you want to access 3.5% or 5% down, you'd need to look at some of the developing neighborhoods on the fringe. 

It is quality of lifestyle though we are on the fringe of the metro area so away from all the riff raff and we do have a unique location in this particular town.. although all the builders are doing just as well no matter location. but we are getting higher prices based on our location and build quality.  

The location of the property is on the outer fringe of a very desirable area, (Walking distance, 3-4 blocks tops).

I believe Ohio has good charging order protection already, so it may not be needed in your case on that point.Also, if you want to have a partnership for estate planning purpose, it make sense to have all disregarded LLC owned by one holding to only have one tax reporting for the whole structure instead for each sub LLC.Usually, a management entity is an active business and would better be taxed as a corporation to get all its fringe benefits.

These days nothing is over 7.5% cap (unless it's a truly off-market deal and a fringe deal under 60-units).

I'm thinking of looking on the "fringes" too for an investment property, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Tooele/Grantsville, Payson and Santaquin. 

The average hourly earnings – cash earnings, excluding irregular bonuses, commissions, and fringe benefits – rose 0.1% in September and are up 4.7% versus a year ago.

These are valuable fringe benefits of a great relationship and I think he has earned a spot on our forever team (joining our inspector on our forever team).  

I have some relatives who have done this in northern Sask, it’s not extremely common but it is possible.For example, you can buy a quarter section for $120k that is wooded and have a logging company come and cut down the trees and pay you $80k.Bryan is correct in that most of the forests in Sask are crown(government owned) land, but there are definitely parcels that are privately owned on the “fringe” of the forests.

As long as you are accounting properly for it, it should not matter.A living trust will be disregarded and I don’t understand what kind of tax benefit you expect to get from it as it should be tax neutral.The only tax advantage I could see is if you use a C Corp taxes entity as property management where there are some tax fringe benefit that are available to corporations.Here is quick video how to set up a proper structurehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?
