sounds interesting to partner with him as I don't live in the states and can't get a mortgage as I am not a citizen so would be nice to have someone that has knowledge of the US market and that already has a team in place.Any insight to this guy or even your opinions about this  would be much appreciated.

This was done to protect senior citizens on fixed incomes from being forced to sell their homes due to unaffordable property tax increases.Since the passing of this amendment, all properties in Michigan have two property tax values associated with them:State Equalized Value (SEV): supposedly equal to 50% of the market value of a property, not based on recent sales price.Taxable Value: the SEV annually capped as long as there is not a transfer of ownership.City Assessors are charged with determining how much property values have changed each year.

The aim is to expose businesses attempting to conceal illicit gains, thereby identifying those involved in criminal activities.As for a Home Owner Association (HOA), whether it needs to comply depends on its legal structure and tax status.Most HOAs need not file, except 501(c)(4), which probably need to comply.Who is Exempt?

Lots of growth in both population and jobs and housing.Rentals are a bit tough I think right now for the most part, but I think the market will start to shake out over the next year or two.If you are not a PR or citizen of the US, then you have to decide if you want to use cash, which is probably preferable or use financing. 

The housing market's future depends on engaged citizens like you.

The aim is to expose businesses attempting to conceal illicit gains, thereby identifying those involved in criminal activities.As a real estate investor preoccupied with due diligence, you have little to fear…except failing to file by year-end.Who is Exempt?

Hey team, I want to know my options being a Canadian citizen if I can buy real estate near my border city Detroit, MI.

Happy to have a further conversation as I work extensively with non-US citizens. 

I also have no intention of investing in rental properties in the UK no more due to a lot of horror stories and potential new changes in laws, which is why I am very eager to explore the US rental market.I am not a US citizen, my partner is and it will be a joint venture.
