Taxes are public record and if you want to double check you just check out the towns online portal.

Once the filing is completed you become the “trustee” per the agreement, but the attorney’s name is on public record, protected by attorney client privilege.

I then divided off 50 acres and I have that on the market for $50,000 which is a good deal for the buyer based on location. 

Also, does the attorney usually publicly record the lease option for us investors? 

An annual lease is 365 days. have her calculate the number of days she has occupied per the lease based on from to date. then divide amount paid by number of days this gives you the daily basis.

It would no doubt fetch what we are asking if we chose to market it to the public, but I’ve also got to consider vacancy, marketing, etc if we don’t place these applicants.I don’t mind making a small concession to keep them attracted, but would would you recommend to keep them on the hook?

Trusts create this anonymity by removing your name from public record.

The added benefit of this process is that you can also have your attorney sign the public records as "Nominee Trustee" before assigning yourself as the "Trustee" once the Trust has been established.

To come close to cash flowing this property you would need to use the 1% rule. monthly rent divided by 1%= max purchase price. $1600/.01= $160000.
