@Jahniya Butlercan you start with a house hack instead? 

Get a police report to start.  

I think a good starting point would be looking at the comps in your area (recently renovated or new construction homes) that sold around your desired sale price and in your desired timeframe and taking inspiration from there design choices. 

.: Quote from @Chad Hale: I used QB when first starting my property management business.

Sadly, both of them escalated this conflict and started creating domestic disturbances so we had to move both of them out.Assuming the upstairs family is being reasonable, I suspect no matter what you do, the people downstairs will never be happy.  

I start by explaining that they are not abiding by the agreement and I want them out.

I know that you do a great job smoothing out any "rough spots" in the lending process, so that certainly helps when the deal starts to go sideways... 

If that's the case, you'll want to start with a fix and flip (or hold) type of loan, complete your renovations, get it rented out and THEN refinance into a DSCR loan for a long term hold. 

Start with a contractor that has a lot of 5 star reviews.You can join some facebook groups and network with investors in your area.

Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.
