I finally received a demand letter from a "nonprofit attorney" representing the tenant, claiming that the tenant was living in uninhabitable conditions—typical for a non-paying tenant, I guess—and now she wants to "renegotiate" the rent and keep living in the same space.She has been filing complaints with various government departments, but all the cases were minor and have been closed.

HI Blake,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

It's a challenging "job" and so worth it.My sister lives in Charlotte near Carrowinds. 

We have a friend in Louisiana that is a contractor and another friend that has 2 rental units there already so this is the reason we are looking in Louisiana, plus costs in NY where me and my business partner live are way more expensive of course.

I don't live in the US and I don't have another income in the US (such as employment or earned income), but I have a property that was rented starting in September 2023.

I’ve lived in it solo the whole time.

The trustee will be a LLC we create in WY to hold the land trust for the anonymity and added asset protection.The question I have run into now is that some things I am reading say that I will have to register the LLC in the state I live in, (will be Illinois) so I will be basically paying for two LLCs.  1. 

Like mentioned above buy primary residence, house-hack, or live-in flip deal!

Closed in part of the attic space created an additional 900sq ft living space, also finished the home it was only partially finished.

Adjusting to a new city is hard enough without changing your standard of living.
