I hear they have the $6.99 steak and eggs that is not on menu and must mention verbally.

They wanted steaks and beer.  

My closest city is Alpena, MI, in northeast Michigan.

I moved into the Austin market from Brooklyn, NY 3 years ago and agree with Kelby.The closest thing I have seen to a positive cash flow within the desirable metro areas are duplexes.  

You are forgetting something that is extremely important in answering the question.Exit strategy.With SFR in an A or B neighborhood, when I retire I can sell them off one-by-one to owner occupants.With a portfolio of SFR in C or D neighborhoods, I may be limited to investors (or have to carry notes or do other things that cost effort and money.)So for me, the answer is the B property at $55k, which comes closest to the sweet spot in terms of rent and exit.The question is moot for me anyway

You do need some legal advise and you might go to someone who is well versed in environmental issues or look for someone who has dealt with dams/water issues, that is the closest I would imagine getting to owning a lake bed.

hey canadian investors, quick question: me and a guy i know who is a canadian citizen but not currently a resident are planning to acquire some rentals in quebec, canada, to generate some cashflow. we plan to split the down payments 50:50. however, we aren't sure what would be the best way to structure these purchases. obviously, the corporation is the closest thing to an LLC in canada, but i've been reading quite a bit, and even talked to a lawyer and accountant who manage my family's finances, and they both seem to think that it would be better to start off purchasing as an individual, my friend would deposit an interest free loan into a joint account, and make the purchase from there.this seems to go against pretty much everything i've read with regards to structuring, i know there are some advantages to purchasing as individuals, but most seem to recommend purchasing in the name of a company. do any canadians have any insight into this question, especially with regards to my unique situation (2 people, both citizens of canada, but only one a resident, splitting down payments on rentals)?

You'll find that the SE side of town and Fountain (areas closest to the bases) are where most of your lower enlisted ranks live (if living off base), while the Powers corridor and Nortgate have most of your officers/contractors.

It doesn't cost more than the cost of a steak dinner and you will get lots of value from it.

Ms steak.
