The Land Trust is something that I use with my clients to allow them to avoid the foreign filing fees.The structure looks a bit like this: “parent” Series LLC > “child/member” Series LLC > Land Trust > property/asset.

We just went through this with a client of ours, they were willing to accept the property as is and actually weren't going to do an inspection.

I'm sure there are some out there, but they have other clients they need to service too and as with any business relationship you want to make sure you take care of your best clients first.  

@John Morehead  Normally I would say someone shouldn't be entering into a contract to purchase something as large as a hotel unless they have intentions of going through with the purchase of the hotel.I know that whenever I represent the Seller of anything such as a hotel, I put specific language in the contract that would prevent a buyer from then flipping the hotel to another buyer.So essentially, in cases such as my clients, you would NOT be able to wholesale the hotel.I think that if you're dealing with any semi-sophisticated Sellers, you're going to find similar results.

How has the government shutdown effected your clients and your business?

A large benefit of the Land Trust method for my clients is that it won’t trigger the same flags by lenders, so the Due on Sale Clause is not an issue.

Then you list  yourself as the Trustee, essentially the "manager," so you can carry out the functions needed to operate the Land Trust and property.I work with clients to establish this type of entity constantly, if you have more questions feel free to DM me.

@Henry LiChi I believe @Kevin Gray has numerous clients in the SoCal area.

I work with many clients in the NY by establishing the Land Trust from another state.
