Usually, 20 to 30 units is the tipping point for self-management, so you might want to keep expanding your doors until you feel the benefits of that cash flow (as well as the pain of the management).  

FYI - you should still work with a trusted local source to still verify anything you put an offer on, as some of the Neighborhoods are block-by-block.Like @Travis Biziorek, we're looking to attract more investment to Detroit!

Very basic finishing with cement block parging.

The next day, the neighbors were upset that I am blocking their window.

Will I be blocked in the future?

I'm underwriting a building now that's in a salt air city, a block from the beach. 

The situation resolved itself because they decided to move out, and as a precaution I took up the new flooring, installed a vapor barrier, and installed new flooring on top (painful since I had installed it all a year before, but in the end it really just came out to a few months profit).

Many people are in all kinds of situation where some quick cash is way more important than hold on to a destress property that's not doing anything for them but causing pain. 3.

Began scanning MLS everyday to find a deal (I am my own realtor and this is my first transaction).January 2024 – After searching deals daily, I saw a property listed that day for 219,500 two blocks from my parents home and promptly made an offer that day for 222,222.Listing realtor kept the bidding open for a week and asked for a counter based on competing bids (in hindsight I don't think there were actually other bids).

If the property is listed on Airbnb/VRBO it will be hard to transfer reservations and that could be a huge pain if the seller is not helpful, even after closing.
