Resilient real estate markets are safe for investment, and it’s tremendously important that Toledo keep that label through policies like the proposed lead law that match standards in nearby suburbs and comparable Ohio cities.Toledo is the only Ohio city in the hot-housing market top 10, and Grand Rapids is the only Michigan location on the list.

@Christina BalivaHot markets for 2024 fix & flip (in my opinion): -Ohio, Akron specifically -Detroit, Michigan-South Carolina and North Carolina-Nevada (Las Vegas) Have more markets in mind, reach out to me if you're interested in discussing further 

@James N Beliak we have several Canadian clients that either have a Michigan LLC ($50 setup, $25 annual) or they use the IRS W-8BEN-E form.https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8bene.pdf

If Ohio makes you nervous, go to Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma, or others.

I had previously had a lender offering 15% down but he is not licensed in MI, I was previously looking in AL. 

I'm located in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and am open to properties basically anywhere in southern Michigan (anything south of Muskegon from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron is fair game imo.)I now have a fairly large nest egg of cash beyond all of my other investments (stocks, bonds, treasuries, crypto) and I want to turn that cash into a real estate investment or investments and I think my deep background in tech, systems, and marketing should be able to help me substantially.It seems to me like BRRRR on multifamily units makes the most sense, but I'm open to suggestions.I'm basically retired at this point as the only work I do each week is 3-4 hours of consulting for larger tech companies and I'm on a couple advisory boards.What are the best first steps in building a team and creating the systems necessary to start making deals?

I am currently in michigan in the upper peninsula. 

I am an investor located in Michigan and in the process of developing a business plan but am struggling to figure out how to set up my LLCs with scalability in mind.

How are things going in MI?
