⏰This might be the most dangerous advice in estate planning.Here's what most practitioners miss: 📚While everyone focuses on the 10-year NFTL expiration, the IRS has a nuclear option hiding in plain sight.Under IRC §7401, the IRS can file suit in federal district court before the Collection Statute expires and convert your "temporary" tax problem into a renewable judgment lien lasting 20+ years.The timing game becomes Russian Roulette with a countdown timer.

Quote from @Scott Mac: What problems are you guys having with the Housing Court From a Landlord's point of view?  

I got a letter from the county to attend court.

Some food for thought questions that went through my mind as soon as I read your post:[1]   Are there other C, C+ homes and apartment complexes in the very near area?       

Great question, that structure can work, but in practice it gets more complex than “just put it in a trust and you are done.”You have to look at: who’s the trustee, how distributions are handled, how the trust is taxed (non-grantor rules), and how financing/title is handled when you buy/sell from the trust. 

First off I think it's a great deal but I could use a large complex owners eyes to make sure I'm not missing anything.

The more complex your offer the less likely they re to accept it. 

Not advertising a deal, just trying to understand what “market” looks like.Hypothetical (but based on a real situation):- Location: Central Los Angeles, Jefferson Park–type area- Asset: Existing 4-unit multifamily on a single parcel- Context: Within walking distance (~0.5 miles) of an E Line / K Line rail station, so it appears to fall into a transit-oriented development (TOD) pocket that should benefit from SB 79 upzoning (higher minimum density / height / FAR if standards are met)- Ownership: Held in a family trust tied to a probate / conservatorship, with a court-supervised mandate to (a) preserve the asset and (b) use it to support an elderly beneficiaryThe family side can realistically contribute **land only**; they don’t have the balance sheet or cash to run a full entitlement + construction process.

I live in North Dakota, and I came across an apartment complex for sale in one of the state’s oil-heavy cities.
