What a great analogy lol Not decided on that strategy, just researching about that specific one.The main reason was because a land trust can be a co signee on a conventional loan and can help with transferring the conventional loan to an LLC later one without triggering the due on sale clause

I have a couple of co-workers that live in Tracy and Manteca that do the 50+ mile commute.

This decision led me to Denver, CO.

I want to help my son and his fiance get a mortgage but we would need to co-sign.

Recently, I co-founded Rumble Stays [www.RumbleStays.com] with my brother, and we’re managing our first Airbnb property—it’s been a great learning experience!

The two can and should co-exist.

We see the value in learning from experience, but also understand that over time as our portfolio grows, we'll need to consider a management co.

I want to help my son and his fiance get a mortgage but we would need to co-sign.

If you're co-mingling your finances, you will have negated any liability protection a proper corporate entity structure could provide.

After three weekends' of showing to about 15-20 groups of people, I decided to rent to a couple relocating back to California (credit it 580, lower than my required 650, but with parents as co-signer, parents have good jobs and own a house, and local in town).
