On top of that there was an $8,000 tax credit, as an incentive since people weren’t buying.  

What I love about Baselane is that it was built BY real estate investors FOR real estate investors so it's really dialed in to what you're going to need in order to prepare your taxes, keep your books up to date and the more operational aspects of being an REI like tenant vetting and processing rent payments.

Since tax bills are for entire parcels (typically, though not always) then it is highly unlikely that they somehow segregated the taxes for that small portion and paid it.

Did you achieve your income goal?

My job has steady income, but no W2s and no pay stubs.

@John BowensAre you loaning from a pre-tax 401K or did you convert to Roth and then loaning from there?

Don't forget about your property taxes going up to account for that ADU.

If you don't have enough to invest locally can you increase your income and savings to be able to invest in 6 months or a year? 

@Rae Chris Ann Arbor is pretty expensive, so difficult to find cashflowing rentals.You may want to look in Ypsilanti - if you want to stay in your area.Otherwise, Metro Detroit offers a LOT of options.Read our copy & paste below for some helpful info:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Very sad, very taxing, a lot of effort before you have a deal to show for it.
