I stand corrected:)They do have an office in Metro Detroit and while we're far from perfect, we seem to get a lot of their unhappy previous clients.In our opinion, they built a system for Class A rentals - where tenants have 680+ credit scores and rarely have to be evicted or trash properties.They then tried to apply their processes to Class B & C rentals and that's when their service issues increased.All this caused them to recently significantly increase their Flat Fee pricing and monthly minimum charges.

The median sale price increased month over month breaking the trend of decreasing median sale price the past two months.The rental market continued to moderate in Q3 2024 thanks in part to the increase in units being built. 1,815 units were completed in the year ending with Q3 2024 with 1,447 expected to be completed in the next four quarters.These new units brought online in the past year increased the overall inventory by 3.4%, however by Q3 2025 we anticipate demand to outpace supply by over 550 units.With this increase in units over the past year we have seen the occupancy rate moderate at 95.8%, down from the high of 98.9% in 2022.

After reviewing the cost to rehab and the area of town, I decided to Wholesale for a quick profit.Sold it on a Real Estate Contract (Owner Financing) with $100k down, the balance is financed at 10% for 13 months, then the loan is called.

We don't like SF houses that have been hacked up into apartments, only buildings built for multi. 

I quickly delisted as in that short time I had realized my town requires a license, but it sparked the possibility that this could be a great kickstart to my real estate dreams.

The best way to find the next good market is to find the hot ones near you and go two towns out in each direction and see which one is progressing more.

Second issue is that it would be really difficult to cash flow, while paying both notes, especially with one lender in second position (which would most likely have a higher rate, plus points to offset their risk.)Now if you got the property under contract for 75% of the market value, which means you would have built in equity, and willing to personally guarantee (full recourse) then yea it may work out.If it's a good enough deal then you could even bring in an equity partner. 50 percent of a great deal is better than 100% of no deal.Cheers! 

I smmsssuming vacancy is built into your $10kmonth.  

Different markets out of the 90 homes i built I did not have one agent sell more than one home.

I'm not going to hold a tenant hostage or make them pay rent if they finished their work contract early and need to leave town.
