However, the beneficiary interest is not a disclosed matter re the trust.You need to check any tax concerns with your tax professional.Stay safe out thereAlan

As the agent I typically become the face of the transaction. 

There are also a large number of accountants we work with who say that as long as it is done at arms length as a business like transaction then they are fine with it. 

Jason Hartman and team referred me and is currently happy with them so I would say they're a safe bet.

Personally never heard of this scheme or way to set up transactions. 

Irrevocable trusts may trigger reassessment unless structured carefully.Gradual Transfers – Transferring less than 50% at a time could potentially avoid reassessment, but IRS step transaction rules could still trigger a tax event.Joint Ownership – Your aunt adds your mother as a co-owner, then your mother adds you later.

Hi @Sam M.there are great answers on this post but I want to clarify something.In a real estate transaction most of the items are negotiable.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

Owners cannot recoup these costs through higher rents, meaning they are effectively being penalized for trying to improve their properties.Instead of discouraging responsible property owners who follow the permitting process and invest in meaningful upgrades, we should be focusing our efforts on ensuring that all renovations are done legally and safely.

They’ve been really easy to work with but we haven’t closed a deal to have insight on that side of the transaction.
