Hello Jim:Trustees and executor may or may not be the same individuals.

That's all I'm trying to provide here - my experience with it and proof that it works.

Even if it’s unpaid the experience is well worth the time investment. 

I don't have a specific answer because I don't have experience doing this yet.

Each individual deal is different and if you are looking for appreciation and you're losing $50 per month and the appreciation is 10,000 per year then it might be a good investment.

I currently live in London but I was born in Athens, have investing experience from Greece  and plan to start RE investment projects there, this year.
