Quote from @Helene Goodworth: Dear Colleagues,I’m reaching out to connect with other successful realtors who specialize in working with investors.

There are some serious housing perks with my new job offer: 1) $150K in a 0% interest forgivable loan for downpayment (10% forgiven each year 2) a special home loan program that is currently lending at an interest rate of 4.1%. 3) Can join a waitlist for on-campus faculty housing that is sold for at 50-75% of the fair market value consequently when you sell you are capped at how much you can sell for; waitlist for these homes is approximately 7-10 years and you can stay there until you die).

Any recommendations for tax professionals who specialize in Detroit properties?

You cannot offset nonpassive income with passive income unless you are REPS or you make less than $150k MAGI because there is a special $25k PAL allowance

Sub to needs special “handling” because if the selling party is a homeowner rather than investor they need to be aware of the following when they sell sub to1.

You will want to pay special considerations to properties that investors own, as they are more likely to be willing and able cash buyers for your own home.

The bond markets are worried about inflation. 

Then there's the "Wall Street vs Main Street" concept where one can have more control of real estate versus stock & bond market investing.

If you feel you really want something more special for a nicer flip or something, get a design consultation from someone local who can give you a whole color scheme for the house that will make things pop. 

MLS. no special negotiations, just found a seller that was motivated.
