Some counties offer a fixed number of permits that increase incrementally each year to which investors must apply to be in the lottery. 

Cleveland offer great cashflow and Columbus is appreciating rapidly, with lots of big companies moving here!

...I think it depends entirely on the cashflow vs. expenses; if a person has 20k/mo cashflow, and their expenses are only 3k/mo, I wouldn't personally view it as particularly "risky" for them to live off their cashflow...On the other hand, building new construction in the midst of a rapidly changing market--now that's risky!

Our biggest hold up is honestly the lending aspect, just unsure which route will be the best and smartest to get us from point A to point B the quickest with the most money in our pockets.I know there are ways to grow a portfolio rapidly, especially when so many are trying to get out of the game/ take a break from buying. 

Investors are buying the commercial buildings very rapidly and the prices of commercial RE in Homestead have nearly doubled in the past year.

Quickly found out that I'd have to scale rapidly to mimic that of a W2, also it required a lot of time and moving parts.

I know a few sponsors in Grand Rapids who are actively looking to raise money, I'd be happy to refer you their way if you're interested.Hope this helps!

Hi all,I am new to the Southeast side of Michigan (formerly from the Grand Rapids and Upper Peninsula area).

I need to set up an LLC for Grand Rapids investments.
