That makes no sense. The whole point of a land trust is to protect property notes, mortgages, and real estate, under the land trust. They're revocable trusts (meaning that the trust can be changed) during the lifetime of the property manager(s).
Just like any trust, it contains three parts; a trustee, grantor, and beneficiary(s). The grantor is who creates trust, the beneficiary is the holders of the trust and the trustee is the managers.

Hello Biggerpockets!
I've done a little bit of research into looking into the ADA Disabilities act. Are there services that offer help for accommodating the tenant's needs? She's physically disabled and needs a ramp built immediately.
Im located in Wisconsin; Thank you in advance!

@Manolo D. the way you structure your entities and what services are conducted are critical to how things get interpreted. I am not a lawyer myself so I have to be very careful not to give legal advise. Something as broad as "if you business in CA you pay CA taxes first" is not always the case. There are rules around where the business is based, what services are provided, and if there are bricks and motor in the state. CA and NY are among the most aggressive in claiming tax liability. For some background on the law start here.
Hey Kira,I'm looking for some legal advice on creating an LLC. The Puerto Rico LLC idea seems interesting, but how would you structure it?

Certainly, @Account Closed. The constraint here is that you'll need to achieve a substantial amount of equity in that year. If you purchase with a 3.5% down loan and then one year later are trying to refinance onto a 15, 20, or 25% equity loan, by the time you factor in closing costs you could need to come up with as much as 24%!
So, if the market has pushed WAY up, if you have done some major value-add, or if you have access to a loan product that would let you refinance at 95% LTV AND you have achieved an equity bump then this could be a workable option. Otherwise it isn't very cash-effective.
FHA has to be primary residence? What other loans are available at the 95% LTV?

Is it possible to not live on the property for a year? Wouldn't you just simply refinance the loan into a convetional Frannie/Freddie?
Post: 10 Biden tax plans that will sail through a Democratic-controlled

Higher maximum rateThe pre-election Biden tax plan would raise the top individual federal income rate on ordinary income and net short-term capital gains back to 39.6%, the top rate that was in effect before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) lowered it to 37% for 2018-2025. Biden also said he would generally raise taxes on folks with incomes above $400,000 without supplying specifics.
2. Itemized deductionsBiden has said he would limit the tax benefit of itemized deductions to 28% for upper-income individuals. In other words, each dollar of allowable itemized deductions could not lower your federal income tax bill by more than 28 cents, even if you are in the proposed 39.6% maximum tax bracket.
For upper-income individuals, Biden would reinstate the pre-TCJA rule that reduces total allowable itemized deductions above the applicable income threshold. Allowable deductions are reduced by 3 cents for every dollar of income above the threshold.
Biden would eliminate the TCJA’s $10,000 cap on itemized deductions for state and local taxes.
6. Elimination of real-estate tax breaksThe Biden tax plan would: (1) eliminate the $25,000 exemption from the passive loss rules for rental real estate losses incurred by middle-income individuals, (2) eliminate Section 1031 like-kind exchanges that allow deferral of capital gains taxes on swaps of appreciated real property, (3) eliminate rules that allow faster depreciation write-offs for certain real property, and (4) eliminate qualified business income (QBI) deductions for profitable rental real estate activities.

I plan on doing the same here! As long as if you have sufficient funds to cover the loan for the several months you will be renovating the project. Typically lenders require you to have at least 3-6 months of reserves. If you are doing bids generally takes 6 months without bids you can do it in 3 months. First time flippers might take longer to find the best reliable contractors
