FHA loans and similar first-time buyer programs offer better terms than what you'd likely get with an LLC, making them a smarter choice for your first investment, if house hacking.If you decide to move your property into an LLC later, it's possible through a quit claim deed, but it's crucial to consult an attorney to navigate the mortgage implications and legalities correctly.

I know Sherman Associates have completed a number of affordable housing projects in Duluth (and were recently navigating another under construction in Lincoln Park that ran into some difficulties).

My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

Additionally, I’m partnering with a friend where we then can take advantage of a first-time homebuyer program, but we’re unfamiliar with the available options in Charlotte.Your guidance and expertise in helping us find suitable properties and navigate these programs would be greatly appreciated.
