Well, everywhere else, it’s the decor that records/maintains deeds, mtgs, etc.

How much are you willing to spend in legal and accounting fees to maintain the LLC?

@Travis Blinkiewicz If the property is well maintained and isn't marketed for over what the rent comps suggest then it shouldn't matter.

If the hoa of a condo is around $100 it would be cheaper to maintain than a single or multi family home right?

As long as you buy in a good area and keep the home maintained, you will be better off by far.

If your lease is in effect for those 30 days, then you have to be out at the end of the last day and can move your stuff any time before that.

I know you want to buy and hold so make sure you know what type of cash you need to land the deal and what you need to maintain the property while you build equity & cash flow.

For the HOA boards that I am on, all communication related to a payment plan would have come through the management company as drafted and handled by their attorney on behalf of the HOA.A payment plan that was discussed in writing (email), drafted and signed by you (thus agreed to), and then has been acted upon as agreed by all parties for 7 months (they accepted the payments) - IMHO is effectively "executed".

The idea is NOT to avoid estate tax, but to preserve the property until the minor grandchild reach age to rent/ maintain the properties or sell them.Any other ideas are greatly appreciate it. 

@Matthew Wilson A BK has no real effect on the lender....as far as foreclosing or doing a short sale...the bank still has the mtg and can foreclose at any time, unless it was a chapter 13 with an approved plan.
