When I first considered buying in the US I considered North Chicago as I know and like it but I'm aware of the high property taxes and question the longevity of the market there with a declining population and all that.I live overseas currently so any purchase will be remote for me and I will get it managed, I may never even see the place so I'm quite open to where I could buy.I wanted some thoughts on the best places to invest?

Morning All, Our portfolio under management is made up of roughly 57% CHA tenants (Section 8) and with that comes the task of annual CHA inspections. 

Each city has is own ordinances from code and violations enforcement to yes Airbnb (short-term rental or not).Then you need the best management company is the blood of you business.

A MIC manages a portfolio of secure mortgages where individual investors pool their finances to create mortgage loans.

Three different management companies have said three different things.Fines are generally either $X or Up To $X for a 1st offense.

Even if you lived there, you have to be an active manager to have success for the neighborhood there as others have said above.

Hey all, I own a bunch of my own properties, but I do manage properties for other owners as well.   

Bottom line is this: with Texas LLC (Texas Sec of State provides an on line FILL IN the blanks form ) it cost $350 to form the series LLC, there are NO annual fees, and only one “information report” (single 1/2 page verifying agent, manager and address) to file every year.  

Weigh these with the time to manage a long distance team and travel to look at properties, check on remodel progress, and property condition after renovation.

Although each cell of a Series LLC can own distinct assets, incur separate liabilities, and have different managers and members, a Series LLC may be able to pay a single set of annual state fees and may be able to file one income tax return each year.
