What I would do, and you should do, may not be the same thing...and they probably aren't.1 - you need to establish what you financial goals are, as they pertain to your monthly payments and your total personal debt.2 -  you need to lay out a series of Milestones, with the order and groupings based on your ability to go from one set (Milestone) to the next.3 - you need to establish a property profile for flipping/holding that is based on numbers 1 and 24 - Then, you need to find the right Micro-Markets that are filled with properties from #35 - Camp out there, and work your way through the Milestones until you've executed each one.It's likely that each Milestone will demand a different Property Profile since you will be working with a different set of goals, and a different set of financial capabilities.

So if someone comes to sue you, they will see the property is owned by Series (A,B,C,whatever) and that the structure is owned by XYZ Trust.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesEven if someone give you a referral, don’t make the mistake of assuming the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

So it boils down to what is most important, a higher price per unit, a one and done sale, or a series of package deals. 

I am interested in setting up a trust that will control my Series LLC.  

Hi Kyle,Have you considered setting up at Series LLC for your buy/holds?

I think your Series LLC structure is smart and something I plan on doing down the road if I ever figure out how to actually have a deed placed under an LLC.

Only until today I have been led back by a series of incidental situation.

The main time people will start establishing LLCs in states that are more business friendly is when they begin scaling or establishing entities of scale (Series LLC or Delaware Statutory Trusts.)
