You really can't get a better snapshot of the Cleveland investment market right now. 

Chicago, with its vibrant neighborhoods and strong rental market, is a prime location for this strategy.

==========================My relative is asking if this is a viable way to legally avoid having to pay taxes:STEP 1: SELL PRIMARY RESIDENCE (House A)-Sell primary residence to son-in-law for cost basis + $500K-File gift tax form for difference between sale price & market value-Not pay capital gains on $500K due to personal exemption.STEP 2: SELL RENTAL PROPERTIES-Do 1031 exchange and buy House A back from son-in-law-Rent out House A for 1 year before move back in==========================Thoughts?

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

We bought a 55-unit last year in the same market, a market we've been investing in for seven years.How we found itOur property manager brought us this opportunity (and the three previous as well).

My wife and I own four properties in that area and the rental market has been very strong.

,  occupancy rates, capex plans, competitor rental rate study, market study, etc.  

Often they like to ultimately buy their properties and will pay over market value so they don’t have to uproot the established program to stay in the home they’ve been renting.
