Another trick from investers I’ve worked with is chatting up folks at local meetups who’ve recently navigated the same municipality.. they’re often happy to share how fast or slow things move.

@Dustin PavlikGreat move looking into St.

@Joseph Alfie Investing in Greater Grand Crossing can be a solid move.

This property would be my third investment so I'm undecided on moving forward. 

But, as my wife and I have done this over the past 5 years, we have found it moves less and less each time, and that we are essentially living the life we envisioned 5 years ago when we started this process. 

Thanks Chris for the encouragement . will definitely contact you once I need the help in that area .we are from Mi lived for 20 years and moved to GA.

Same property listed water bill paid by landlord so how much does it cost to put individual meters for each property so cost can be moved to tenants? 

Would definitely recommend finding a partner who can help walk you through this if you decide to move ahead. 

How are they going to prevent move-outs and extend my occupancy? 

As already mentioned, you could sell via seller financing to lower AGI, as all you would have to claim is the payment income - until balloon payment received.Did know an investor that had 14 properties paid off and he moved into one every two years to then sell with the $250k single exemption.
