I have a license through the county, but now each individual community is pursuing their own regulations, including implementing a separate license for each community.

With good management, you should be getting 80%+  You will have to watch the individual city regulations if you're casting a wide net in Pinellas.All of my clients that bought at the beginning of the year are already planning their next purchases. 

They still build multis but they sell them off as condos individually for way more than what the duplex or triplex would sell for.

In order to close on the Florida deals I needed to create a land trust. 1) how do you guys structure your LLC VS. individual trusts for each property? 

Then, nothing else should be filed individually on anyone's return for this property.Is this correct?

In regards to the insurable interest on the transfer to the LLC, as long as the owner of the LLC is the same individual who is on the mortgage, there will not be any issues with the insurance policy providing defense or settling Property claims. 

I would not recommend joint tenancy or any other individual names, stick to the LLC

How do I do it so the seller doesn’t need to get involved or be harmed financially?

So my question is as follows:What are some of the individual tactics that you’ve used, or would potentially use, to induce a vacancy?

All the lenders I've spoken to want us to change title to the LLC members individual names.
