That’s really smart.

Have you thought about a Glass topped Electric Cooktop with a downdraft? 

The manager should help the board steer away from liability and poor decisions because they should be the smart one advising the board- not the board doing all the work. 

@Orien Kuang - I think it's smart to try self property management on your midterm before paying 8-12% to have someone else do it.

If I move the business and taxes to the USA through an LLC, would that be a smart move to get funding and better interest rates than Mexico's banks, even though the property is in Mexico? 

House hacking with a multifamily unit sounds like a smart strategy,I'd recommend starting by checking out local market conditions and connecting with other investors nearby.

No LLC Needed: This keeps things simpler and avoids the state income tax associated with forming an LLC in Tennessee.Steps to Set Up Tenancy in Common:Purchase the Property: When you buy the property, instruct the closing agent or attorney to list both of you on the deed as tenants in common.Draft an Agreement: While it’s not legally required, it’s smart to have a written agreement detailing each partner’s responsibilities, the split of profits, and how decisions will be made.

You smart and ambitious enough to invest in yourself in the first place.

Also, it would be smart to keep your salary expectations reasonable. 

Set SMART goals, make friends with other investors, talk to a money advisor, stay calm and steady, and break the money cycle.
