Have you use an All Inclusive Deed of Trust?

can anyone reccomend some good websites, or books, or trainings cd's for title holding trusts.

I also have friends in the industry I trust and value to help me through this, but so far all has been on the up and up.

My question to you would be, what would your need be with a Land Trust?

You'd either need a brick and mortar bank local to where the property is located or a national commercial lender that makes exceptions to residential.

As you are a not a multi-national some of the perceived benefits will have no value.Originally posted by "loki005":2.

Should I contact banks or are there well known national/regional clearing houses I can contact?

I would agree with the earlier posts in that it looks a little soft.That being said, Retail Centers are probably the most sought after property type in commercial and regardless of accuracy of expenses, I would say it always comes down to the opportunity to add value, the quality of the tenants, and the terms of the leases.For example, if you have some strong national tenants on Triple Net leases, people are willing to "overpay" for that type of property - at say a 6-7% CAP.

When the snow melts awayDo the Cubbies still playIn their ivy-covered burial ground.When I was a boy they were my pride and joy But now they only bring fatigue To the home of the brave The land of the free And the doormat of the national league
