Then they will meet you at the property and hold the door while you walk through and do all the analysis work.If you pick a great investment RE agent they will make your life easy.  

I should preface this with, this is not an open door for me to loan, I do not offer my private money loans through this forum.

Hello all, I am converting my 784 sqft detached garage with a full bath to a 2 bed/1 bath unit.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

@Cody M.I would add a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment as a contingency to any offers on properties more susceptible to environmental issues (dry cleaners, gas stations, auto repair garages, etc.)

My suggestion is to go off-market by buying Google Ads, mailers, PPC/PPL (google ads), door-knocking and more! 

Is this something you do, or  would consider? 

What I mean is, if you are thinking $50,000 down, plus closing cost, plus fix up cost, plus time on market to get rented as your foot in the door cost to get up and going- you might want to add an extra line item for additional time and additional costs associated with this type of scenario.

I'm open to a duplex but I need a yard and garage. 

They either do or don't qualify.
