Re: trust
It will not be a problem to sell it at all.
However, refinancing it could be a problem, because the lender will want to have security for their mortgage. So they will want to see a personal guarantee from you, to make sure they will not get stuck with money owed by an empty shell.
It can be done. My parents had their house owned by their trust, and got a mortgage in the name of the trust, but these days things are tighter.
