Your best bet is going to be to join the facebook groups, there are 3 major ones in Lansing.

Some sort of owner occupied strategy (house hack or live in flip) is probably your best bet for a first investment.

If you're looking to avoid a rather large tax hit, a 1031 is probably your best bet.  

So a nicely decked out  cabin I bet would rent real well for STR purposes  Not sure about permits etc..

Hi Anoop,If you're looking for the best areas in Boise for short-term rental investments, I’d recommend focusing on two spots, these are the ones I see come up more frequently for investors: Downtown Boise and North End (a bit more residential but still near popular spots like Hyde Park.Good luck,Jackson

Single-family homes and small multifamily properties are popular choices here.It's also a good idea to connect with local real estate groups or online communities for advice and to find good property managers.

Trying to go to companies directly is rarely going to be your best bet. 

I am not sure but I don't think it matters where you are located.Texas is popular for series LLC's.

It looks like networking and meeting people will be my best bet.  

It is near economic hubs like Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, and New Albany.Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden.
