@Dominic Richardson you want to find a combination of affordable entry point, more landlord-friendly than tenant and growth potential.Detroit offers all of those:)

we build affordable units by doing higher density and I can sell or deliver a housing unit at a lower cost by sharing common elements like slabs, hallways, centrally designed systems, etc 

This hands-on approach enables me to obtain useful information, allowing me to make informed judgments and alter my investment strategy as needed.Analyzing these precise elements of a property gives me vital information about its potential.

I capitalized on a unique opportunity that emerged from a combination of multifamily prospects and a Judicial Sale.

The way to combine the two is to buy properties that need work in order to stabilize them, and doing so in an appreciation market. 

But since you can allocate your proceeds any way you want, you combine the exchanges and buy two replacement properties - one with cash and one with debt. 

Quick close leveraging a 1st lien against OTHER real estate you on either a cash out refinance, or, if you have equity, you could potentially obtain a 2nd lien against cash flowing real estate usually capped to a max 75% CLTV (1st + 2nd liens can't exceed 75% LTV combined) (5-30 days)4.

Your post is confusing because an HOA cannot make a modification to a common element and then charge 1 owner for that *UNLESS* that owner or their tenants damaged the property to begin with.

Combining my experience as a guest in cabins with some knowledge as a manager of a few houses with them:1 - Patio. 

If it’s a combination heat/ac unit that runs on the older Freon and just the ac needs replacing.
