Hey  I found a motivated seller fsbo thats also a investor she really is nice and I have gained her trust and don't want to lose it, i told her my wife and myself is interested in purchasing her home, although i have not told her that we are investors as well and we are doing it virtually for the most part, moving forward to get this property under contract do i mentioned we are investors or where do I go from here.   

I've recently heard about Community Land Trusts and am intrigued.

I am extremely choosy about exactly how much work I want to do, where my property is located specifically, and many other characteristics of my investments.

He's the brains, lead generator, agent, and property manager of the operation (I trust him completely, he's a rock star), I'm basically providing the money. 

Get a private money loan and secure it with a deed of trust on the property.

Am in a 1031 exchange, and property is in the name of our family trust, so I need to quitclaim after closing to get a conventional loan, I'm told. 

I have a trusted realtor at each location as well as management firms that I currently use. 

The lot rent has been really expensive lately, and I had a few crappy renters, so I was really ready for a break after 3 years and some extreme personal problems.

Do I follow trust laws for Ohio or Florida?

The home was built in 1954 with cast iron pipes and the neighbor described the pipes to be extremely corroded.
