She will get each beneficiary to sign off on allowing this to happen, lessening their inheritance cash-wise but keeping the family in a home.My idea is that the trustee daughter could purchase the home, but could do so instead through a sort of owner-financing where the Trust finances the asset to her directly rather than buying it in full at great cost and taking out a mortgage on an already paid for property:- Property is in Trust and is fully paid off,- Trust finances the property to Trustee for closer to market value, and payment can still be set at 1500- No/less down payment required- Any interest rate, maybe 0- Tenant family makes rent payment of 1500, which pays off the property and pays into Trust- Beneficiaries' % share accrues gradually as payments are made- Set future balloon payment if necessary (if Balance required at a certain time, for college, etc.)This would decrease the out-of-pocket cost for the Trustee purchaser, and increase the amount that each beneficiary will receive (eventually).I have no Trust experience, though, and I'm hoping to hear from the experts.

There is a delicate balance somewhere between keeping legislation strong enough to protect homeowners, while also not burdening the industry so much that people choose to do work illegally as you suggested, or take unnecessary time to deliver a finished project (and thus a home for somebody in this case).

This type of financing will typically look very different and more like a traditional commercial real estate loan.That means a DSCR calculated based on a full NOI and expense load (so inclusive of vacancy loss estimates, credit loss estimates, repairs and maintenance, utilities, management fees and more – in addition to the property taxes and insurance expense that are the only expenses factored in on traditional residential style DSCR loan financing).Additionally, the DSCR minimums are generally going to be higher (typically up to 1.25x), the loan to value ratios lower (higher down payments) and underwrite more sophisticated (which makes sense considering the size and scope of the property).Many multifamily investors for properties of this size (such as more than 11 units) can syndicate capital and have more sophisticated financial and entity structures – its definitely a different world once you get up here in unit count.In Conclusion – when you are looking to invest in multifamily real estate and finance your investment – make sure you have the unit count in mind before you start shopping – the unit range can have a huge effect on your options.
