You'd be more referee for roommate fights than landlord. 

His love and care for steering folks into safe information, especially Due on Sale issues, is noble and Jon is the unsung hero as he referees some heated debates on BP.

Some times, attorneys will act as referees if there's a disagreement, but they usually want to stay out of those conflicts and leave it to mediation or a court to decide if it's a serious issue. 

If the trust were subject to a court action, a court-appointed probate referee would provide the date of death inventory and appraisal, at least in many jurisdictions. 

You are just starting out. you want to invest out of state, not locally.You want to skirt/evade the law.You want to engage in a rent model that requires a hands on referee at all times, remotely.You want a rent model that has strangers living with each other, raping/murdering/stealing from/harassing each other, without any ability to intervene.  

The government is only supposed to be the referee, not there to control who does well in the game.  

@Lisa Kohl If this is a probate matter, you are very mistaken.In CA, the probate referee is who prepares a date of death value for the INA (inventory and appraisement - their terms, not mine). 

First, be prepared with your highest bid, have the cashier's check ready payable to the "referee", or the lawyer's company.

This way knowledgeable people that want to help others or share good quality information don’t have to waste their time reading all the ignorant posts refereed.  

After spending the next two weeks watching every real estate video I could find, I was determined to purchase my first rental property.By this time, I had been eating free meals at the school dining hall, saving my ROTC stipends, and working three part-time jobs (campus taxi driver at night, finance internship two days per week, and ice hockey referee on weekend mornings).
