I hope you're able to make good connections on this platform.Investing is definitely exciting for you and I would recommend learning as much as you can with regards to trusts and LLCs for asset protection, especially if you decide to acquire a turnkey property in the coming weeks or months from RTR or any other seller.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.

For out-of-state, look at landlord-friendly markets like Texas or the Midwest with strong rent-to-price ratios and solid job growth.Start with one turnkey property and a trusted property manager to learn the ropes, then scale from there.

If she wants something smoother, she could create a trust (like a revocable living trust), where she stays in the house for life and it passes to you after — this avoids probate and can be set up to fully protect her until death.Another route is a life estate, where she transfers ownership now but keeps the right to live there for life.

Quote from @Brandon Callahan: I had someone that I trust and respect approach me about becoming a partner in some real estate deals, but I have some questions about what would be a fair in terms of ownership given this potential partner's proposed partnership/ownership structure.

This is where offshore trusts, family limited partnerships, and Lichtenstein Corporations come into play.  

Of course, everyone must do their due diligence and have a team they can trust. 

US population growth slows and fewer new households form, which is probably not great for RE investors; and 2. the Social Security trust fund runs out.  

But if you can’t, make sure to get boots-on-the-ground feedback from trusted contacts.
