My goal is to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about wholesaling, creative financing, and building wealth through real estate. 

If you are taking out a conventional mortgage of any kind, you can't buy in the LLC as it does not have two years of tax returns.You are also asking if an entire state is good to buy multifamily, which means you are too soon in the process to even talk about buying.

Wanted to still be close to family but maintain a cheaper lifestyle, still have strong appreciation, and much better tenant/landlord laws, taxes, etc. 

Could VRBO users from Michigan provide some clarity about the topic of sales tax/lodging tax collection and payment to the state.

The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

The issue we often run into is the pure cost to build...you have ideas or ways you are working around that?

Look for areas with stronger rental demand, lower property taxes, and minimal HOA fees to keep expenses down.

They will handle the collection and distribution of payments, amortization, escrow accounts, and any tax documentation. 

@Jacob HavlovickCongrats on purchasing your first duplex and starting your house-hacking journey—this is a huge step toward building wealth!

In many places, daycare costs, commuting, office clothes, taxes, meal prep, all take up a working person's full income when you switch to going back to the office.
