Although not a legal requirement, it'd likely be required by your lender.

I would like to maybe buy land in a upcoming area.

Now the listing agent looks like he can't bring in any serious offers to the seller.Another version of this is the offer comes in verbally, then when it comes time to put it in writing the buyer has expensive or unrealistic contingencies.It only takes a few minutes to write up a contract.A verbal offer is worth the paper its printed on.

I have cash savings, but not to the tune of 20-25% down on a SFH.Seems like I really have a few options:1.

I would really like personal testimonies before I go out and purchase one.

I would like to take title on the DSTs as an individual and dissolve the LLC for simplification purposes.Options seem to be:1) Take title as individual on replacement property2) Take title as LLC on replacement property, then transfer to individual later3) Take title as LLC on replacement property, maintain LLC indefinitelyAppreciate advice from anyone experienced in this matter. 

that can be a big determining factor if something like AirBNB will or will not work (or will even be allowed by county/city)What is the layout like? 

I’ve worked with a lot of first-time buyers, and common concerns like HOA restrictions or property management costs often come up.

If I put the money in the stock market, and got a 10% return, well, after tax on the gains, that return is more like 7.5%.

They're not like residential buyers.
