She will get each beneficiary to sign off on allowing this to happen, lessening their inheritance cash-wise but keeping the family in a home.My idea is that the trustee daughter could purchase the home, but could do so instead through a sort of owner-financing where the Trust finances the asset to her directly rather than buying it in full at great cost and taking out a mortgage on an already paid for property:- Property is in Trust and is fully paid off,- Trust finances the property to Trustee for closer to market value, and payment can still be set at 1500- No/less down payment required- Any interest rate, maybe 0- Tenant family makes rent payment of 1500, which pays off the property and pays into Trust- Beneficiaries' % share accrues gradually as payments are made- Set future balloon payment if necessary (if Balance required at a certain time, for college, etc.)This would decrease the out-of-pocket cost for the Trustee purchaser, and increase the amount that each beneficiary will receive (eventually).I have no Trust experience, though, and I'm hoping to hear from the experts.

I, too, aim to be as accommodating to residents as possible.However...For my own liability protection and personal sanity, I'll only schedule our group viewings for when the resident can be physically present.For one thing, I'm a digital nomad (currently living in Colombia), so I'm likely never going to be conducting their viewing myself.But mostly, I don't want a resident claiming that some priceless heirloom went missing or got damaged after holding a showing in their absence.We'll pick a convenient time, typically 1 hour on a Saturday afternoon, and set appointments for up to 6 pre-screened buyers to take a look.

My thought is since cash flow is more difficult at the moment, and with my age, it seems more immediate and appealing to get a 15 year fixed that will set me up very, very well when I turn only 46 years old.
