I am certainly capable of fixing a lot of things in my house, but I would rather be spending the little extra time I have focusing on the parts of investing that will help me grow my business.

If you’re repainting anyway, it’s an extra day for the painter to patch the holes anyway.

It will certainly require extra paper work and the country where the income comes from also needs to be one of the accepted ones (which is most). 

I like doing the extra work of finding  the deal and renovating it myself to create that result.Kind of throwing a lot at you here...is this helpful? 

If you can pull the cash out and do better with it than what it will COST you (i.e. the extra amount it adds to your mortgage) then the answer is yes. 

I am thinking of renting in Westchester while I save extra cash.

Most buyers, especially newer ones, don't have the extra $ to bring to the closing table so I didn't suggest it. 

The TIC setup would not be feasible for a smaller investor in a deal, but a larger investor would be, due to the extra steps required. 

Extra bonus if its a smaller/boutique mixed use type property as opposed to something like a restaurant or retail storefront.PM me if one or more of your investments match this profile and you are willing to share thoughts.Thanks!

It also gives you some extra protection and tax incentives as long as you set it up properly.That said, you can certainly work just in your name to start.When you're ready to setup your LLC, do your homework.
