They were all very educational, but the last one covered the market dynamics very well. 

But the inherent illiquidity and leverage in real estate should afford higher returns than most asset classes.

If the properties are free and clear, you can deed them into an LLC and have your sister be the sole member of the LLC in her capacity as trustee of your living trust.  

I'm in the process of preparing my first offer...I'm considering an offer subject to existing financing.In this situation, the wife passed away in January...the house is titled in both husband and wife's name....mortgage is only in her name...he is current on payments.Is writing my offer, subject to existing financing, with her deceased any different than it would normally be?  

Never ever give the tenant keys until they have PROOF that all utilities are on in her name.  

Ah, caveat to the above: I have no way of knowing if the dynamic is still true outside of California where the loan amounts aren't as large.

I am not sure I would want to go this route again, but I am also not sure what kind of tenant I would be able to get in here regardless of whether or not it is Section 8.

Have you chosen an area to invest in here in Georgia?

The other asset in her LLC is in Nevada.

Isiee, Too much to jam in here.
