@Daniel M. - I think prior to a walkthrough the seller has little/no relationship with you as a potential buyer, so I wouldn't expect more than a rent roll and a list of expenses.

Its too much to get into here.2) I have had rental properties in 6 different states while living in Michigan.

We are actively searching for firms or individuals who specialize in property sourcing, as well as those who offer risk analysis/advisory services.The markets we are focusing on for purchasing are Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Michigan.

I am not looking around Chicago, but actually looking around Wisconsin or MI. 

@Stuart Udis Michigan's Transfer Affidavit has exemptions for several transfer of ownership types, including from a single owner to a single-member LLC.https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/treasury/F...Is it different in Pennsylvania?

You’ve already hit the nail on the head—patience, organization, and a solid team are all crucial.I invest in Michigan and visit 3-4 times per year, primarily focusing on Detroit.

I live in Northern Oakland County in the State of Michigan about 45 minutes North of Detroit. 

I'm in Michigan but found this thread.

Milpitas probably 1 mi.
