Hi Everyone,I have an investment property generating 1.7k per month at a 2.5 rate which I plan to keep forever.

Washington inherited two large estates; the first was the estate he got possession of when marrying Martha; however, unlike most husbands of that era he didn’t “consume” the ownership of Martha’s estate into his own; he operated it in a “trust” capacity for the benefit of Martha and her daughter by a previous marriage.  

Do you want to live here forever?

Days On Market (DOM) are trending up everywhere - suggest you find out the trend for Akron.It's now Fall - there's a decent in drop in all things real estate after Labor Day when they kids go back to school.Next drop is after Halloween when consumers go into Holiday mode.How often are you dropping your asking rent?

The average consumer here would probably never realize this is done, but I have experienced it first hand on multiple projects.

I assume you’re going to make accounting, tax prep and certainly financing much more difficult, time consuming and expensive with the trust.

Continuous participation.This is great if you are talking about an SMB with effectively connected Real Estate.Note rental activity is considered passive unless you meet the RE Pro threshold of 750 hours and more than 1/2 your time.This is the conundrum for passive real estate investors.If you have a full-time job or a large, time-consuming business it can be difficult or impossible to qualify.A huge loss from depreciation if you have one LP investment isn’t going to do anything for you.

Limited Regulatory Oversight: Fintech companies that operate without a banking license may not be subject to the same regulatory scrutiny and consumer protection measures as traditional banks.

I plan to buy one, or two, more PR before I get to my forever home. 

Hello Sarah, Most of the time Financial Advisors aren't able to make recommendations within real estate because FINRA and the SEC make a really big deal about suitability for the consumer and most advisors aren't licensed or educated in real estate therefore they can't make any recommendations regarding it.
