This trend is influenced by the ongoing high interest rates, stricter lending standards from financial institutions, and near-zero rent growth.In my ongoing pursuit of knowledge, I engage in conversations with various individuals in the real estate sphere.

That's where the general trend is going.

The industrial pipe chandelier trend, I started making those about 7 years ago and you may have seen some of my work on TV or in different places across the US and Canada.

Ferndale is super trendy right now and I think it's valued much higher than the Livonia market.

I did ALL the trendy and inexpensive things to make it standout What was the outcome?

If you don't see positive activity (coffee shops, trendy restaurants, flips, road improvements, city parks, people walking) we don't buy there.

Same with your personal return, likely $1500-2000 at many firms.A trend I have been seeing - compliance work is becoming more and more complex each year - TCJA, CARES, Partnership audit rules, thus takes more time.

As an example, if you upgrade the bathrooms and kitchen now, which is typical to raise value, it may be done in a really trendy way  but in 5 years the trends can change, so it's best to wait until you are ready to sell it to improve it so you are as trendy as possible with your materials and design.as far as rent goes, the ARV in the backyard may improve your overall gross rent if you can create a separate entrance to it so that someone can rent the back separately and now you have a duplex, your rent will go down in the house slightly because you are taking away their yard space but usually that's worth it. there could be a lot of other things that may help you improve value but you'd just need to have a walk through with a trusted realtor who knows what they are doing and they can give you some good thoughts on where to spend money and where not to. 

Sylvan Park and The Nations are trendy little pockets that also have great potential and neighbor some of the nicest neighborhoods in Davidson Co (metro).
