I would say your best bet is to see if you can purchase a home with an assumable mortgage. 

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

They may not make much progress, and they may even go backwards.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

Consider different selling options (traditional sale, rental, or auction) based on market conditions.Tools that may help: QuickBooks for budgeting and expense tracking.Zillow or Redfin for real-time market data Asana or Trello to track the progress 

In my opinion, Baldwin County is probably your best bet if you are looking for long term renters instead of yearly turnover.

It can also be a a good market for appreciation IF you know where the path of progress is.I disagree about South Bend being on a downward trajectory.

Your best bet is going to be to join the facebook groups, there are 3 major ones in Lansing.

If not, I’d bet there was no partnership return.Assuming a 50/50 split, you should take half of all income, expenses and profit and report that on your return.

I then grew my knowledge along with Brandon Turner who we got to see progress personally.
