Probably a couple grand a year for their subscription.

Hi Miles,I am a real estate agent and investor here in Grand Rapids.

I am trying to compare and contrast a Syndication investment with a straight ownership of a real estate for example owning an owner occupied triplex where one can deduct property taxes , maintenance, insurance etc I thought property tax can be deducted on the W2 income  that is correct, but we are talking about a different code now and property tax in the grand scheme of things is a mich smaller write off.

It unlikely calls for a closing/sale without substantial completion, and the bank shouldn't have an issue with funding with a typical "punch list",  perhaps holding back a few grand.  

Now my question is why in the world would people pay much more in rent when they could be with only a couple grand down and invest in there own property?

I am a business owner from Grand Rapids, MI with ~100 employees, and I have read several Robert Kiyossaki books, (increase your financial IQ, Cash flow Quadrant, Loopholes of Real estate and a couple more)  I am just recently diving in head first on real estate investing.  

Hello everyone,I am currently seeking recommendations for a realtor/property manager in the Grand Rapids area.  

There are often times I wondered whether my whole experience in the last 6 years was just one grand lesson sponsored by the School of Hard Knocks; Or whether you constantly have to step outside of your comfort zone and achieve reinvention.

That ain't just a homerun, that's a grand slam!
