Is buying a rental into a living trust a good idea?

Why do you want to buy 2 rentals a year?

The ability to see the major issues before you buy is key especially when buying dilapidated early 1900's homes.

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan.

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

And that’s if you can’t find something to buy for under $100k or time multiple sales at once. 

Just keep in mind that using that emergency fund to buy your next property and having tapped a HELOC already may leave you in a bad spot if you run into a similar problem again.Also, I’m not 100% sure, but I have heard that personal loans don’t your credit more so than other types of debt so be sure you look into that if you go the personal loans route and then planned to finance your next purchase soon after.

Maybe I’ll buy outside sheds for each unit and rent to them.
