I am just getting started out in multi-family investing, so would like look into smaller apartment complexes (less than 10 doors).

Have you knocked on the door and had someone answer and say I have a lease on this place and are paying for it.

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

There is a newly built Class A 47 unit rental property  Sky View at Crawford ( lease up from 0% to hopefully 100% and value add by garage parking, valet trash etc ) by ​Skyview Capital, a DFW based Commercial Real Estate Development and Acquisition company as General Partners.

That guy got caught building a garage without a permit in March 1996 and had a stop work order issued. 

Sean, I have some deep domain expertise here.For starters, I own 12-doors in Detroit (from California).

Exterior didn’t need much – sharp new accent color for exterior doors, and other aesthetic enhancements, plus some upgrades on roof flashing and weatherproofing.We discovered that the ground level water intrusion was because a huge crack in a sloping sidewalk next to the building was funneling all the stormwater right over the sill, into the onsite-manager’s unit.

I can relate to the cold winter's that will soon be knocking on your door. 

I will say though, if you take a look objectively you might easily find a way to adjust the floor plan with just adding a wall or door.

Do you want trim and doors also painted?
