If the extent of your real estate business is renting out your basement than no, a Wyoming trust is not necessary (in fact, a Wyoming trust is not necessary for 99.9% of real estate owners)....you were contacted by a fear mongering sales person, not someone I would consider to be offering credible services. 

Ironically, I was ready to let go of multifamily and focus on more lease options, but then my team finally got an offer accepted on a 54 unit.

I've read a few books on real estate and something the majority of them had in common was the BP community so I would like to see what it has to offer

You could do events and offer onsite chef availability for large parties. 

Tenants lease expired, so I offered a new lease with a $25 increase. 

47 - What type of landscape (this offers as many questions as I have listed already)?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

In addtion to the typical 'SOLD' Comps, I also always run Comps on what is currently offered for sale.

I know of several DSCR and portfolio lenders who offer different terms based upon your situation.

There are hundreds of lenders that you can choose from offering nice looking terms.
