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. 

Wondering if anyone has experience there?

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $9,000 Sale price: $185,000 I did not have the knowledge then to keep the property and pull money out to complete renovations to another property we purchased a year after this one that required a complete overhaul.

Raising money is all about marketing and sales (not real estate specific) so either hire marketing agency and read sales books, or hop on some LinkedIn courses on marketing and sales.Not sure the legal structure to use: talk to accountants and attorneys.Need deal flow: talk to brokers and go to a lot of networking events.Lending terms: start calling banks and loan brokers.From there, it is all risk mitigation.
