Since the properties are based in CA I will have to register the WY LLC in CA which will expose my ownership and thus I will have a member manager trust that will be the owner of the LLC.My question is who should I make the trustee of the land trusts?

With occupancy rates, utilities and bills the math works out that long term rentals are going to be more manageable. 

I'm six rental properties into my investment portfolio and have HELOCs on two of those properties as well as my primary home.

I have a STR property that is in a FL land trust and I set up an LLC to property manage this property (collect rents, etc).  

I would use a company versed in this process to manage the operations of the LLC and collect the rents/operating costs for the owners. 

I inherited this tenant from purchase and have used property management in the past however I would like to manage myself.

Grow your portfolio a little longer first.

The property is managed by a contracted company.

Getting to an asset manager to buy a note is not impossible, but definitely not easy either.

lolThe author is NOT describing that the property manager will be help civilly liable in court for the property's maintenance etc.
