If you were looking for something like Manitowoc, I would suggest looking in Ozaukee County.

I am acting upon the advice fromone of the myriad of podcasts I've listened to where it was suggested that I build my team of real estate partners BEFORE I close on my first deal.

I found BP via Youtube starting with Peter Harris's videos and following suggestions.  

I am currently looking at the option of investing in the US, but am unsure of the exact location (any suggestions?)

It takes the right deal and the right I would suggest the book Rich dad poor dad.

I feel like purchasing a duplex, living in one unite, renting the other out, and purchasing a deal where the numbers work correctly to where my living expenses would be paid for by my tenant, would be an excellent way to not only help me achieve my goal of paying off my student loan debt, but also help me get a taste of what land lording is like to see if it is a route I would enjoy taking. 

I was going by the 87.5 percent rule The average home buyer cannot buy the 1588 sq ft condos downtown  for $675,000  I'm two miles from downtown 1/4 mile from Canada  There is still excellent opportunity as the prohibitive prices expand into adjacent neighborhoods.Dan Gilbert (Quicken Loans) owns more than 100 buildings downtown and is currently building 4 more 1 is costing him around $800,000,000.00 for the one building Hudson's Department Store Site It was supposed to be the 23rd tallest building in the US but it got shorter with his massive stroke and Covid 19There are areas that I think will come back faster than my area did ( buy for $10k put $20k into it worth $150-$200k in three years) The only point I was making was I NEVER understood why people cited Detroit as an example of good cash flow but no appreciation.The appreciation has been unbeatable.

This will boost my income quite a bit, but I understand that switching jobs is a bad idea when you're trying to get a loan.What would you suggest? 

Hi BP, Any suggestions on how should Incorporate my real estate investment biz?

Maybe it would work out if you found one in real estate.These are all small suggestions, but the main point is to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before jumping to pay the irs $35K in taxes.
