An example is a previous duplex assignment I had which has grm's ranging from $199-$283. assuming market rents of $1,000/mth for the Subject, that equates to a value range potential of $199k to $283k or 40%+It's a lot more challenging accounting for grm differences than other property differences.But, once again, this challenge of lack of comps may actually benefit you to the positive.

First off, an agent would generally not be responsible for an outcome like that only for things they didn't handle properly.

It's also convenient that you live close to the property, which allows for easier management and oversight.As for financing, I understand that your bankruptcy in 2017 has posed some challenges for securing a loan.

It makes handling the partnership cleaner, especially if one of you wants out later.Affording a $500k+ place?

@Kim Porciuncula we manage almost 700 doors, around 100 of them S8 and have clients from 11 different countries.You'll probably also need assistance with setting up an ITIN, Michigan LLC, corresponding EIN and opening a USA bank account - we have a tax attorney that can handle all that.PM us for additional assistance.

Do you know HOW you PMC is handling the collection?

What you buy in a market and how you handle your investment is so much more important than which market you are buying in.

It gives us something to do together than is fun, challenging, gives a few opportunities to argue, make up, prove each other wrong, etc. :)I feel strongly that our assets are "ours" not mine or hers, consequently it is logical that she should be involved and have a say in it.My wife went from really not liking it to absolutely loving real estate investing.

The key is how they handle their mistakes and whether the mistake is the result of incompetence. 

But of course, building has it's own challenges.
