Foreign entity registration allows you to conduct business legally in MI and ensures compliance with state laws.

Then you would set up a separate LLC to act as the operating or "management" style company that would collect rents and pay expenses. this way you are separating the actual assets from the company you are using to conduct business.

IF... your foreign (not in NC) LLC has no "business" in the state other than property ownership, and your LLC does not conduct business as in executing leases using LLC managers (meaning hire property managers to perform all functions relating the rental "business", including the eviction process,) then you can invoke the NC General Statute exemption provided in NCGS 55-15-01(b)(11) under § 55-15-01.

Annexation, zoning, density, preliminary, and final plat approvals are examples of the steps associated with increasing site value.How much value is created is determined by deducting the "as-is" value from the entitled value.Establishing the entitled value involves determining and underwriting the Highest & Best use of the site and applying a residual analysis.A residual Land Value Analysis is conducted by establishing the built-out value of the project and deducting everything from the total value BUT land.The generic formula Total Sales or Capitalized Value - a Target Project Proft - commissions & closing costs = Residual Project Budget - Site Cost - Hard Cost - Soft Cost - Finance Interest points and fees = RESIDUAL LAND VALUE Residual Land Value is the price that can be paid to acquire the property that is supported by the Project planned to be built on it.One of the most important factors in doing this analysis is an Income-Driven approach.

Not investor, that is even wider in regards to conduct. 

In order to conduct Real Estate business you need to have an office ID and a brokerage license.
