I didn’t realize it then but thanks to this community ( and more than a year of unemployment ) I have learned I should have taken advantage of the W2 lending benefits when I had the chance.

@JohnCoreyUnfortunately, very little interest has sprung up from the BP community.

Negotiation Challenges: Risk of under-the-table deals with other buyers.Tips: Be aware of these risks and take steps to mitigate them.

Excited to connect and have access all the resources that this awesome community has to offer.

I'm hoping they get a good director in place who wants to serve their customers (tenants who need safe houszing) and their vendors supplying that need (landlords) and operate an efficient and successful program serving our community. 

Have them check the entire home, not just the areas you are aware of, and mitigate the issue altogether. 

Typically you can get a window egress installed for $3k-5k.Not aware of a Metro Detroit city that will allow the conversion of a SFR to 2-4 units in an R1 zoned area.- You can improve your search by only looking in R2+ zoned areas.- Will still be challenging to acquire a SFR at a low enough price to justify the cost of any conversion.Regarding Michigan property taxes, we have a one-page explanation document we'll share if you DM us. - The challenge in Detroit is that the city is "deliberately" keeping SEVs low to not scare investors away over property tax increases.

My personal favorite (and where I currently live) is Belmont, NC, a charming town about 25 minutes from Uptown with excellent restaurants, bars, breweries, and community events.

Are there any MH communities in your area?
