I will have to do more research and get back to you on this.The plan as of right now would be this:The property already comes with an established business model and “employees” per se (the property manager).

There are plenty of single family row-homes, and there are plenty of multi-unit properties, but not a duplex per se. 

If the deductions are greater than income amounts and nonpassive, then I can see them offsetting ordinary income.All rental activities are per se passive.

Seeing 3-5 on small commercial multifamily, SE Michigan, with 5 proving itself a red flag in one way or another every time I dig deeper.

I think it just feels bad since we're coming off historic lows and got used to crazy low rates. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...

First question, I know two people with flipping crews, one has completed over 100 houses in SE Mich in the last 3 years, and they both tell me they never use services like yours to find inventory.

At least in Los Angeles or SE Michigan.

Thing is though I'm looking in Los Angeles and SE Michigan.
