@Mike M.In my somewhat limited STR owning experience, I have found MUCH LESS opposition to STR with 30 day minimum stays than with the 2 or 3 day rentals.

They are doing deals and looking for limited partners to buy apartment complexes.

The Taxable Value is uncapped and equated to the SEV upon a sale or other transfer of property ownership, with limited exceptions.Once you know the Taxable Value, you can look up the property tax millage rates, which each city & county sets separately (with voter approval).So, yes, it is very possible for property taxes to jump from $907 to $3200 if the seller has owned the property for quite some time.You can use this tool to estimate your future taxes after they are uncapped: https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7-238-43535_43540---,00.html

Would getting prequalified prior to this process for an owner-occupied SFH allow one to refinance (or delay finance) at 95-97% LTV or would it be limited to 75-80% LTV since the delayed financing strategy is being used?

Hey Chad, really confused here as I don't see anything in your "exact emails" that talk about price or a price limit. 

I haven't been involved with that myself however so my knowledge is limited. 

My wife and I are super new. I've seen people post about a city being built for so many inhabitants and a place having or not having enough homes. How does one find this information to help evaluate areas? Thanks so m...

Will buying a multi-plex also limit me to only 70% LTV?

I do understand that not having my W2 job will create hurdles initially, but my W2 job was also limiting the time I’ve been able to invest in real estate.

The sky is the limit.
