Chris McIntosh stopped by at one point and apologized to me for not believing me about what was going on--which he could have seen for himself, if he hadn’t dropped out of the picture.

Recently, I received pictures of a water leak in the kitchen ceiling, which appeared to be coming from the bathroom on the second floor.

So how you bring the money into the picture is just a mechanism, the reality is you do want to own the asset.

Aside from the standard BR/BA count and square footage, I always focus heavily on the listing pictures for any comps I pull in my area - finding a comp that's as close to your property's condition and finishes will give you the best apples-to-apples comparison possible.I also wanted to second @Tim Swierczek's input: nobody in Minnesota likes moving in the middle of winter.  

We both know the numbers you used (mostly that 1000% return number) aren't practical, but humoring them paints an interesting picture about the financial advantage of leverage.

We need ID, selfie, and picture of the CC used to pay.

Detroit has one the highest rent to price ratios in the country…and we focus on the best balance of price/location within the area.Here is a picture of my portfolio if you/anyone is curious.

I think there is a weird balance here, among professionals, where people may not want to bad mouth fellow professionals, particularly from the same areas, which can create a skewed picture. 

You’d avoid higher financing costs for your personal project and simplify your financial picture.

The description and pictures are excellent marketing.
