No sense in spending a bunch of money on complicating your management.

I have worked with around 11 property management companies in 4 states since 2009, and they are the worst, by far.

I’ve structured Florida deals this way and the big thing to understand is that Florida land trusts are privacy tools, not a shield from Florida compliance.A few practical points from experience:• The beneficial owner LLC does not need to be Florida-registered by default, but the moment it’s actively operating (collecting rent, signing leases, managing vendors), Florida can argue it’s doing business in-state.• Using an out-of-state LLC as trustee is common, but banks, insurers, and some counties will still require Florida qualification somewhere in the stack.• If you plan to self-manage or control leasing decisions, a Florida-registered management entity (even a simple LLC) often keeps things cleaner and reduces audit risk.• Most investors underestimate how quickly sales tax, DBPR, and local licensing issues come into play, especially with short-term or mixed-use rentals.Land trusts work well for title holding + privacy, but they don’t replace proper entity registration or compliance.
