Converting SFR to MfR
What's good BP?!
I'm here today with an idea for my market. I've heard similar things before but never in my market. I'm located in Southwest Michigan. I'm thinking of buying larger 3 be, and converting them into duplexs, and/or buying larger 2 bds and converting them into 3bds or 3 units.
Any advice? This is my first investment in real estate. I've been studying for over 2 years now, while working on fixing credit. I recently at the beginning of this month was approved for 130k. in my market it works but I plan on finding great deals.
