As a licensed realtor myself, I was able to waive my commission and negotiate the sale personally.

Be careful with personal recommendations.

This helps in identifying all possible tax deductions and credits, potentially saving you money.5.

The goal is to free up more money to reinvest.

I don't have personal experience with this kind of land trust but since you're in CO I have a personal recommendation of a real estate attorney here in CO who has helped me with seller finance deals and is very responsive and has been great to work with in general - Jeromy Geraghty - https://www.geraghtylawoffice.com/

With the right folks, it’s amazing what you can accomplish without ever being there in person. 

Remember that we are in this to make money.

One-year leases are very common in smaller spaces, as you're most often working with tenants in the trade industry that need a garage styled space for tools and equipment, some with a small 1-person styled office adjacent the shop.

In short, the best Real Estate CRM to use is the one that fits your personality and habits in my opinion. 

I have done a few flips and used hard money and local banks.
