Post: Title Holding Trust - Checklist, Docs, Agreements

We are exploring the options of buying all our properties through a Title Holding Trust, or individual THT for each property. Curious if anyone has a complete checklist, doc templates, etc. for us to review. We will eventually most likely use an attorney to set this up, but would like templates to review for our own knowledge and possibly save us costs from drafting them from scratch. We are looking for the following:
- simple land trust
- beneficiary agreement
- assignment of beneficial interest
- occupancy agreement
- any relevant addendums/riders specific and unique to the particular transaction of "Lease Options" from the Trust to a potential end buyer.
- Recommendation on non interested third parties that act as Trustees. Would prefer them to be a corporate structure. We also do NOT want any recommendations to anyone YOU haven't used before.
Any tips, tricks, links, directions would be good. Would love to network with those currently utilizing these strategies for their Lease Option purchases.
We've heard the following people have great documentation, and knowledge. Anyone used the following and/or care to share the docs you have?

Thanks guys for your help!

Now that I read that back, that didn't make much sense. Yes, I am referring to investing in short sales with va backed loans.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in renting their properties to Veterans? I heard some where that the VA will guarantee rent up to XYZ or something of that nature.
Does anyone know of the program, or how I would find more info on it? Also, what types of properties this program would qualify for? Manufactured Homes? Apartments?
Thanks for any help and/or any additional insight.

Oh yes, sorry about the CAPS. It was late. No excuses I guess huh? For anyone wanting to know the type of Wholesale deals I am doing its pretty cut and dry. I usually am just flipping my P&S Agreements on various SFRs. My Team gets some Probates, some Short Sales, and we get REOs. I have a pretty good niche for marketing and have access to quite a few leads right now. Im always open for questions so pop in anytime :wink:
