From screening to security deposits to eviction, recent laws create many ways for owners to trip and fall.And now Multnomah County has prevented landlords from evicting delinquent tenants.

Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.

We see a lot of success in the suburbs:Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

With all of that said without know more specifics about what price points you're considering and location I'm going to Generalize1.

@Joy McQuearyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

These include accidents (I recently had 2 units destroyed by fire), natural disasters (I have had two units each hit by 2 hurricanes), property management turn over (they sell or stop being as good, I have experienced both), or turn over of team (I am turning over at handyman and I suspect plumber), or just wear n tear of property (slab leak in poor location, sewer pipes rotted out (one unit this month), roof, foundation issue, etc.).  

or have you found various creative solutions to secure favorable terms?

We do, however, have to register in the State where the property is located.

In either case, the wholesaler usually doesn't need to provide their own funds to complete the deal unless they are doing a double closing and need private financing for that purpose.The title company plays a key role in ensuring that the funds are processed correctly and that the transaction is legally and financially finalized, including disbursing funds to the seller and paying any fees owed to the wholesaler, private lender, or other parties involved.Contract with Seller: The wholesaler secures a property under contract, usually with a small earnest money deposit.Find Buyer: The wholesaler finds a buyer (investor) and assigns the contract, earning an assignment fee (difference in price).Closing: The buyer wires funds, the wholesaler receives the assignment fee, and the title company handles the transaction.Costs:Earnest Money: Small deposit.Marketing: Costs to find deals.Funding (if needed): For double closings.Profit: The wholesaler earns the assignment fee.prioritize transparency and value.

Jetting and cutting usually works best on conjunction with removing the tree/trees causing the problem, which is not always possible depending on location.
