Then your heirs can inherit your position and keep it going every 10 years.....etc....as compared to the MIN which is due in 30 years.For example here are a few recent CRE deferred sales trust deals:- Owner who sold a $34M apartment complex and moved his funds into a Deferred Sales Trust. - $18M Business Sales of Veterinarians who sold multiple practices in Virginia and Indiana.Another example, was for a couple who sold their primary residence for $26M in Newport Beach defer $6M in capital gains tax.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Commercial properties can be lucrative, but the financing/underwriting required from lenders is generally more "conservative" relative to residential and usually have higher interest rates (unless you have a "rock star", long-term commercial tenant in place) and generally require more equity from the borrower compared to residential.

The problem you may run into is the lower appreciation rates compared to the South.Considering Commercial Real Estate:Have you looked at mixed-use properties?

@Landon Sheveland People do fix and flips while living into the property to classify the property as primary residence and not pay any capital gain taxes. if that is your intention, don't use LLC to establish this as your LLC.If your goal is different compared to what I said above, you can use LLC.

Quote from @Holly Barrett: So I'm comparing them w/Foremost on our Short Term Rentals, the quotes are $500-$1000 less than I am currently paying for each property per year.

AS noted we have two small positions and communication is very good reports are on time K 1s are on time.. of course we will see how it all ends up .. but for day to day operations compared to the horror stories you are hearing about other syndicators they are doing very well.Thanks!
