Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.

If you ever need help, I’m happy to assist!

Let me know if you need any assistance with resources!

I have no w2 job, a lot of toys (need to get a plane), can do what I want, can assist my son to find his way in life (he is leading his 2nd rehab) and if I wanted I have generational wealth (I have given away a lot money the last few years).  

We have some Rensselaer tenants on various forms of assistance, so happy to chat though that, as well.

However, the concept of a virtual office is a very useful tool that provides a professional fiscal and commercial address, as well as additional services such as mail handling, meeting rooms, and phone assistance.

Obviously, you should work with a good agent, lender, and home inspector to assist with each phase to ensure you are getting the best deal.

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

@Kyle Trotman, for local conventional lenders, feel free to message me, and I can provide a few points of contact who may be able to assist.
