Robert,If the objective of your purchase is cash-flow, then appreciation matters little - don't get me wrong, it's still nice, but the success of the investment does not rely upon it.Matching your product - in your case, single-story (ranch style) duplexes - to your clientele ({nearly} retired, aging tenants who do not wish to contend with stairs as they grow old or those with mobility issues), whether done explicitly or intuitively, is the key to low turnover.We are considering a multi-family unit which is comprised of 25-row houses in a single story garden home format as it has an appeal to our aging population.

There may be a way to track real estate properly on this program, but it sure isn't intuitive.

I can probably rent this for 1000$ mo conservatively depending on how nice it is finshed/ layout once completed.

I have one built in 1939, a lot of work in electrical and plumbing, room layouts, etc.

Mainly because I liked the location and lay-out of the houses.

Houses in the area compared to mine are renting around $1,000 per month, so the cons are my property is in a service drive, no basement, and no central air (no biggie in michigan but being on a service drive and considering car fumes might have to install one) pros are most houses won't be as nice as mine, renovated, nice open layout and 2 car garage.Now to the question, I'm concerned that the master has no bathroom, so the renter will have to go downstairs to use the bathroom.

I feel our property was treated without regard to what we own as well as our health, and I do not feel comfortable allowing the city workers to enter our property until the city takes responsibility for the damages caused, as well as lay out a plan on how they will be acting differently once we allow them on our property.Here's what the sewer cleaning crew did:1.

I built one more building of four designed the same way but the final 20 units I changed floor layout but kept the exterior the same selling these for 225,000.

We are using Intuit Payment Network (https://ipn.intuit.com/) which is also a service provided by Intuit (like sparkrent.com).

Especially, if you have a package with all the project details (aerials, layouts, zoning, permits, etc.) you can fax them.AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LAND UNDER CONTRACT OR YOU OWN IT BEFORE YOU TELL THEM ABOUT THE PROPERTY.Many builders will jump your deal if they get the chance.
