I was going to use it as a vacation home, but I could rent it out while I am not there, it is in a tourist area.

I've seen concrete floors stained and polished in commercial properties and heard of some people doing that to the slabs of their homes, but every example I have seen were dark and probably not attractive for every home, especially smaller ones without a lot of natural light.

Idea being to make it more attractive than surrounding properties.Duplex is in Norristown, PA.

Also, is the lack of a garbage disposal a big deal when trying to attract tenants?

How do I borrow money, pledge assets, claim positive net worth to attract equity capital, etc. if I am not worth anything because the trust owns everything?

I outlined some of the highlights to hit in town and made sure to include cool stuff that the typical tourist would not normally run into.People LOVED that info I created! 

(Jon nailed it on Cap rate saying it uses the 50% rule, for most people, since you must determine estimated NOI to get your Cap rate.)Basically use multiple metrics when determining the attractiveness of a deal to increase your margin of safety.

This would be an attractive option that I am confident you could secure a deal and a finders fee with probably less long term hassle.Hope this helpsJessy Milner

You are fighting years of programming, but often times you may be the first person who has ever assisted them in understanding financial choices, and you can affect them.If your education system is productive, you can perhaps produce a model for qualification standards that will be attractive and safe for investors to yield an attractive return on investment.

Unfortunately, I now have cockroaches because they're attracted to ferret feces.
