Your neighbor s as Sean mentioned, have a lower tax bill likely due to the fact that they live there and there are laws that prohibit the tax assessor from raising the property values more than 3% per year when it's your primary residence okay, it's also fairly common for your tax bill to significantly increase in the tax year after you purchase it.

The house is 3/1, and about 1200 sqft in the living space though, so pretty quick interior wise. 

We lived on east 10th St. for about 4 years.

Hi @Shawn SmithI am a US loan officer in Toronto, assisting Canadians to secure financing in the US.

We started looking at coaching programs and some of these things just seem ridiculous at 20-40 grand, and some seem more like life coaching programs as opposed to real estate programs. we don't want to syndicate we really would just like to find someone that we can bounce deals / ideas off of and have them assist in underwriting and giving us a better sense of security that we are doing the right thing.

I'm an investor and co-host in Dallas, TX--- and that's where I live. 

To me it was most important to have a group of 6-15 people that I felt I could really connect with and we could help each other in the area where I live

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

I understand that if you live in a state that does not have a state income tax - you won't have any state tax liability, but based on $110K income, you would be in a 24% federal tax bracket...Distributions from an IRA or Roth conversion would be considered ordinary income and subject to ordinary income tax; capital gain tax is not applicable here, so I'm not sure why you are bringing it up... 

Property in Ohio is cheaper than where you live because it’s less desirable and will always attract less desirable tenants with higher maintenance and more evictions.
