I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

If not, I’d bet there was no partnership return.Assuming a 50/50 split, you should take half of all income, expenses and profit and report that on your return.

Your best bet is going to be to join the facebook groups, there are 3 major ones in Lansing.

Some sort of owner occupied strategy (house hack or live in flip) is probably your best bet for a first investment.

If you're looking to avoid a rather large tax hit, a 1031 is probably your best bet.  

Trying to go to companies directly is rarely going to be your best bet. 

It looks like networking and meeting people will be my best bet.  

I'm betting your numbers look like mine, and CapEx saving is eating up a lot of it.

While the interest rate might be higher, you eliminate the risk of needing to refinance or sell later, making it a safer option if your goal is to hold the property long-term without any financial uncertainty.If maximizing cash flow now is a priority and you're comfortable managing the future refinancing risk, owner financing with a balloon could be the better choice.

Doing this like a brrrr I see as the best bet, for example my property does still have room for improvement adding a bedroom and bath to the primary structure and then the ADU.
