Secondly, neither our realtor nor our banker have encountered this situation where the appraiser is dictating what is a shared driveway.

@Ian TanYour goal dictates which type of property you should get.

If your life dictates you would like to buy a home to live in and can afford it, Id say just go ahead and buy it.

The trust documents will dictate who the trustors, trustees, and beneficiaries are and what authority they have all been granted. 

That is well vetted. 4 years of vetting in court and legal system dictates well vetted. 20+ is icing on the cake. 

Those criteria and more will dictate what type of property best suits each investor's abilities and agenda.If an investor finds himself very uncomfortable in lower-income neighborhoods, if the investor finds it difficult to effectively communicate with people who live in lower-income neighborhoods, and if the investor has very little experience being around people who come from lower-income neighborhoods, then it is probably not a good idea for that investor to invest in lower-income neighborhoods.  

Your cash flow in a recession would largely be dictated by your location and the type of traveler staying at your unit.

It may even be more your clients fault, as they are the ones buying the house, and they should be dictating what the agent should negotiate.

Contractors' bids differ from city to city and sometimes their schedule dictates their pricing. 

My research dictates the Tampa market has run in prices but do you think a rental strategy is still plausible in this market, any suggestions on areas.
