Could VRBO users from Michigan provide some clarity about the topic of sales tax/lodging tax collection and payment to the state.

Quote from @Cynthia Lee: Accepting even $1 could be seen as evidence of a payment plan, and the entire eviction process could be derailed.Once you start the eviction process, to not accept any payment unless it is a full payment in certified funds (cash, money order, cashiers check).

This may sound harsh, but I would actually put this on the tenant to get his rent payment back.

The payment is about $1320 per month.

Equity first comes in the form of down-payment, but you can also force it into existence with rehab or wait for it with appreciation.This is why it is so important that you re-invest your cash flow into more equity.

Or any amount of cash you take out from the exchange are considered to be profit. 

@Yooni ChoiFor a first property, $100/month in cash flow might not be ideal, but it’s acceptable, especially with a house hack.

I have a number of lenders that I work with that will do up to 80% on a cash out refinance.

The program is neither good nor bad, there's just different pros & cons compared to cash paying tenants.Have offered to schedule a call with you numerous times to try and assist you, but you seem to prefer posting & posting & posting - which will take so much longer:(What are the chances you'll actually invest someday, given how long it's taking you to do basic research?

How did you achieve this type of cash flow?
