Given your financial constraints and the property's ineligibility for historic tax credits, this approach allows for reinvestment into assets more aligned with retirement account rules.For future real estate investments, you don't need an LLC for tax reasons.

@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Consider starting with a few lower-cost flips with a smaller loan-to-value ratio to reduce financial strain.Market Research: Sacramento can be volatile, so I’d recommend keeping a pulse on local trends—particularly in the neighborhoods that have potential for growth but haven’t quite hit their peak yet.
