fast froward to 2021 (old lady is no longer with us) and her trust is public info that wrote off to her daughter.   

Of course the previous PMC has to cooperate, otherwise we've had to start the eviction process all over again.If you're having issues with the current PMC, how far do you trust them to handle the current eviction?

The problem I have with getting the properties tented is I don't trust the termite extermination companies because it is my understanding that 1 bottle of the gas they fumigate with costs more than $2400 and I think they cheat on the gas. i had one property termited and when I was remodeling an apartment about 3 months later there was thousands of live termites in the 2 x 4 walls.

Do you really need to purchase in a LLC or are there other avenues that get you as much protection (eg umbrella insurance, trusts) if you purchase in own name and then protect after?

@Joseph HammelSome examples of estate planning I have done with my real estate clients include the use of family limited partnerships to freeze value of estate along with defective grantor trusts; LLCs with preferred interests (similar to debt instrument); sale of membership interests to defective grantor trusts; annual gifting of LLC interests using discounts for lack of marketability and/or lack of control, etc.

Trust your appraiser.

I'm not sure I could have pushed through the fear of such a huge financial decision if I wasn't working with a realtor that I knew and trusted.

I would've been better off setting aside cashflow myself to cover damage to the buildings that trusting an insurance company to cover me! 

Inspection and final walk through are the only days to take measurements, have contractors out for bids or trusted tenants for showings.

A lot of trust in my friends trust of this wholesaler.
