My name is Neil and I have  recently  worked with my  first  client in setting  up  a  real estate business and in order to get started, I am interested in deal evaluations and making offers as a wholesaler and with creative deals in the Los Angeles area.

With house hacking, I feel like you only need a few properties to be able to build cash flow and set yourself up for retirement.

So, potentially 2 sets of taxes need to be paid.

The Taxable Value is uncapped and equated to the SEV upon a sale or other transfer of property ownership, with limited exceptions.Homestead versus Non-Homestead Millage RatesCounties & cities in Michigan are allowed to set their own millage rates, with one restriction – a primary residence (Homestead) is exempt from up to 18 mills of school taxes on their Homestead property.
