This way it would be the Land Trust conducting the business of the property while still maintaining the liability protection you desire. 

If the property has more than 5 families it is an apartment and would require a business policy, not a DP3.Home insurance is generally less expensive than landlord insurance because it is assumed that an owner living in a house will maintain it better than one that is rented to others. 

., you are able to have the same diversity that people chase in stock portfolios, while maintaining relatively low risk if you are careful in which investments you make.

@Marcos Paulo Cerra That sounds like a great plan and start for investing, especially if you can live in one unit and all contribute to any work that needs to be done to maintain everything and keep growing.

I was a little surprised being unaware of my responsibilities to maintain that information with them.

Moving forward we are paying off debt and trying to maintain a 10%+ liquidity.We can't predict a recession however, we can control what we have.

Basically the small multis are old poorly maintained buildings in low rent neighborhoods surrounded by other old crappy buildings.

And it seems like one more thing to have to maintain later.

Purchase and maintain the subsequent properties through the Trust.

I find they're able to maintain a detached, broad view of the situation and open your eyes to things you may be missing while working in the middle of things.
