Right now I am heavily leaning towards student housing or multifamily homes throughout Michigan, preferably in West/ Mid Michigan.

. - Plan 1 overall looks like a better planWhat plan would you prefer assuming we end up staying in the house for the long term and only think about selling much later on.I appreciate all your inputs!

Partner with a BP Member (preferably one in your area): It's a seller's market right now and presumably there is a lot of investor money floating around.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a lawyer in Michigan, preferably the Grand Rapids or Mid Michigan area?  

I'd prefer to keep government out of my business but it seems like a decent program.

Get the mortgage in his name (not my preferred option) ?

This would be my preferred strategy.

Definitely prefer the vision of house hacking with say a four plex and living in one of the units.

Do you have a preference?

You can cut costs and have multiple entities with QB desktop, but the downside is that many CPA firms (ours included) prefer clients with QB Online or another cloud based software.
