Land trusts are a hot button issue right now in the legal world, and the type of organization you need may depend on a thorough review of the facts.

Sounds to me like wading through some very murky legal waters here. . .

Anyway, dont let the legal stuff get in the way yet.

There will probably be some legal costs to get it all set up... use a real attorney.

So I am wondering whether it is legal to claim both home office benefit and free from FICA on Rental income from IRS, or otherwise you have to select one of them.

Keep in mind it's not legal advice, only an attorney can do that..!!

Very corporate-friendly legal environment as well.

I'm not a lawyer so this is not legal advice :-).

I'd like to know about the number break down, risks/rewards, how to find investors that lend, how to find properties that both sides can be happy about, how this method compares to other low/no money down options, timelines, legal, etc...If anyone has any book or website recommendations please let me know!

We take very detailed move in pictures for legal purposes and when we are given notice that a tenant will be leaving and what date that will be on, we list it and show people the move in pics and the stats of the the unit, along with any planned upgrades.
