it's in the "rust belt" of the mid west and I got lucky that it's not difficult to keep rented You can find them BUT probably not from a wholesaler.

Jamie lives in west Knoxville with his wife Johnna of 12 years, his son Blake who , daughter Laila and their dog Gracie.

Hi AndrewThat's a tough one because tax rates seem to vary from state to state.I'll give you a quick example: Salt Lake City, Utah $300,000 home with an annual tax amount of $2,500.Detroit, Michigan $35,000 home with a $2,500 annual tax rate.Pontiac, Michigan ( different county that Detroit but only 20 miles north of it) $35,000 home with a tax rate of $700 annually.In the midwest and west I see an NOI of under 6%, in C grade neighborhoods.Select areas on the east coast and surrounding region I see NOI's of 9% to 15% in C grade neighborhoods.Property Taxes are the same whether the home is held personally or in an llc.I hope this helps, please feel free to send me any Specific questions and I'd be glad to answer them.Good Luck.

So what I'm looking for from you, the greatest RE community, is some guidance on which strategy I should go with, and / or more details about HUD homes.I'd love to connect with people who have:Gone through the process of buying a HUD home (so I could get a step-by-step)An agent that specializes in HUD homes (I've heard too many stories of unqualified agents dropping the ball)Experience in the University Heights market (I've been looking on the west side mostly)Experience with FHA / 203(k) loans (to go over finer details)I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help at all.

Good Evening Bigger Pockets, After 3 years of hard work I've been able to get my first multi family Property in west new York, NJ.

@Jeb Brilliant I deal with off market properties for the most part in East Hillsborough County and West Polk County.  

I am from the west coast and no matter where the property is located, it will sell or rent.
