At that point, it's worth researching and finding a solution that better meets your needs.

I'm not sure how well versed they are in the trust details but it makes sense that it would be due to the step up basis so if there's a way I can approach them to give them a solution to that, that would be great. 

My focus is on properties that are slightly positive in cash flow, while also offering capital appreciation potential, and ideally being self-sustaining in the long run.During a recent visit to LA, I didn’t quite feel confident about the current state of things there.

Consider the cashflow off that first property as a sustainment cost.

I would call professional paralegal solutions.

One of the benefits here is that you can save a bit on closing costs but the PPP (pre-payment penalty) structure may be more aggressive, ultimately inhibiting your ability to sell off if needed - since the loan would need to sustain a minimum debt service.

For rents to increase faster than inflation, there must be significant and sustained population growth.Sufficient income to replace your current income: This will require multiple properties.

But they’ve asked to come up with a solution since the loan isn’t technically assumable - something equivalent to acquiring the LLC that holds the property. 

@Anton Mattli Could you please provide a recommendation on how we can sustain a business with another model?
