Has anyone structured their rental properties to be held by a revocable trust owned by an LLC? Are there any benefits? Is a benefit of this setup the ability to be able to transfer the property owned by that trust made relatively easier by simply assigning the trust?

Never seen trusts owned by a LLC, it’s usually LLC owned by a trust. The whole point of having a revocable trust is to avoid probate. With a property under a trust, beneficiaries can access the property if something were to happen to the owner/grantor of the trust, avoiding the probate court, which can be long and costly.

Depending on the jurisdiction, use a nominee trust over a rev trust.

But typically it is LLC at the property level, and trust above. Or nominee trust at property level, and rev trust above.

Keep in mind upcoming CTA requirements for LLCs, which will push people back into trusts more.

Thanks all, so was thinking of the following structure: WV holding LLC owning 100% of a NJ LLC which would own the rental property. And, with the CTA, it sounds like benefits of anonymity for WV LLC goes away? Would a trust be beneficial on top of the WV holding LLC to exempt beneficial owner reporting?

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller.
