With luck you will find her early and avoid complications.

To complicate matters, I am self-employed and have only one year of income on the books as a contractor (previously was payroll employee), so I am limited as to traditional financing.

I talked to REmmington coming out of the GFC  I had a fairly complicated transaction.. and of course send the stuff in.. then they hit you back about 5 days later your approved subject to due diligence and you need to send us 10k.. well they simply did not ask enough up front to really understand this and it was post GFC were 10k was near and dear to me.. so I passed.. 

It's a little complicated (definitely talk to a CPA) but basically, you transfer property to an irrevocable trust, pull income from it (cash flow) for a certain period of time and then the remainder (either the property itself, remaining proceeds from the sale of the property, or other investments purchased by the trust using the proceeds from the sale of the property) goes to charity.

I often wonder if LLC separation is a little over sold, it is a down line defense. meaning, first line should be best practices and maintaining your property in good safe working order, second should be insurance, 3 could be a Mortgage, and 4th a legal entity, and in reality unless there was gross negligence its doubtful a suit ever goes beyond insurance. sometimes i think people over complicate things for very little. just my 2 cents 

People like to make things complicated in the stock market but can be just simple if your head is right.

It's not really that complicated to buy out of state.

Redemption rights are VERY complicated after a sheriff's sale.

Flipping isnt complicated, but this breaks down to how sure are you of your numbers? 

Something that does make things more complicated down the road.
