There are some programs through local government systems where you may be able to receive a tax abatement or grant here in Michigan in an effort to help beautify a neighborhood.

I really like the idea of leveraging local contacts for walkthroughs and feedback.

Who's name is the lease in, tenant or insurance company?

Hello everyone, my name is Max.

To invest out of state successfully, focus on building a strong local team (agent, PM, contractors), automating deal analysis, and using contingencies to protect yourself.

Yes I understand what you are noting, and I believe on the commercial side of things they are typically not putting their names on the docs like you do for a resi loan but just brokering/underwriting it and collecting a fee as a 1099.

Since it was over 12 months with my HML, I ended up taking the property under my name with a 30-year conventional loan.

One needs to have outstanding local market knowledge to underwrite effectively. 

Hello – My name is Serge.
