@Diana Mulvihill listen to your gut just work on your pricing strategy and do your best to maximize revenue.

Being healthy is also important to us, so the more organic stuff we can get the better too.

I just think I have it better than most because there is no need for separate utility meters in my county because it is rare for anyone to use an ac or heater here lol all the city requires is a wall furnace. 

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I decided to buy the property from my grandfather using a gift of equity, which allowed me to take over ownership without having to come up with the full down payment and pay for the tax lien and his closing costs.

that's why having all your cash stuck in one property is high risk.and - most of us use leverage to get higher returns.

That means paying all cash isn’t an option unless you plan to bring another $600k to the table. . 

Knowing who to contact and what lenders can execute in the marketplace is so crucial and as an investor, that can eat up a lot of time and resources that would otherwise be better used elsewhere when trying to do it on your own. 

You're gonna want to be around $400k purchase price to be in a good area too.

Look for a designer who prioritizes durability, ease of use, turnovers and guest experience.5.
