I think it really depends the style and setup.

I prefer small Strip malls or self storage.I need advice on how to find the deals, how to get lending on them and then how to set up the structure.I have flexibility to fly out next month is there are peers who can meet and help me out in their local markets.thanks,Paul 

Michael, that is not entirely correct.Some sponsors will set up a syndication investment/crowdfunded deal in a TIC or DST structure which can allow this.True, but it's done very rarely and for small groups, typically accredited investors.

Therefore, your financial freedom hinges on new companies continuously moving into the city, creating replacement jobs.Companies have many options when selecting a location to set up operations.

They may require a foundation (footings) of some sort, a different home set up, among other things.

I will deffinitely work on getting an LLC set up. 

Maybe this is a simple question but does this have to be set up through a service or could this just be my bank and I hold the money? 

Pretty sure it works in reverse also - set up a Michigan LLC for the property above and you'll have to register it in your state of residency. 

Here are the key themes I'm seeing get set up for 2025: Interest Rates Will be Holding Steady or going up: The yield curve (finally) uninverted this week, when the Fed signalled they will be more cautious about raising rates.

Count on the rate to be at least 1% higher than where you'd be for a primary residence, and to maybe even cost a little in points depending on the program, your credit scores, etc.Happy to help you think on this more if you want to setup a call.
