A properly set-up DST will both protect your assets and bypass the burdensome franchise tax that would be levied against a Series LLC.The Delaware Act expressly provides that “[n]o creditor of the beneficial owner shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the statutory trust.” 12 Del.

You can do them on primary homes and second homes but not investment occupancy properties atleast with respect to conventional agency loans.Good luck on the deal Thomas,

Good strategy for real life (RL) however lenders, atleast with respect to conventional agency (fannie/freddie/ginnae mae) will not be able to use rental income from non legal units on a 1 unit property in 99% of cases (some limited ones for extenuating circumstances or caretaker who lives with you to take care of you).In real life you're getting income and yes this is awesome and it helps to cover the payment but from a qualification stand point we'll only be able to use 75% of gross rents if there are legal units.

@Alan Grobmeier, they appear to be permitted, the public records indicate ' 3 dwelling units' on a 3-4 unit zoned loti also happened to find another almost identical property that has the same configuration, just 4 individual houses, public records also only show the 'primary residential structure' with its respective sqft, not all four, BUT the MLS data on that one accounts for the total sqft, and prices it more accurately.. so lets make this a hypothetical question -IF it is permitted, would that not be worth more?

As far as talking to them, that was the understanding...strictly PM, and I respect when people keep their word.

That perspective creates an environment that allows everyone to win.
