The area is semi rural but the town has a nice downtown and suburbs that are desirable to commuters who don’t want to live in East Lansing “MSU” or pay the taxes.

Everything I have ever read about them have been negative, really negative.With any other turnkey or property management company you get your good reviews then your stereotypical semi negative reviews such as they cost to much, communication is slow, I wish they found a tenant faster etc....A lot of that kind of stuff is par for the course & it's usually a combination of the investor being new to the game & how the company operates. 

Hello everyone.I am semi-new to the REI field, and have joined this site to get serious and started on an REI business.I am an accidental landlord from a house we could not sell during the real estate downturn after moving for a new job.  

18 months ago I rented to an unmarried semi-retired couple.

They were always stabilized or semi stabalized.

I am looking on possibly doing my first flip here's the details:3 bed 1.5 bath 1200 sf ranch with semi finished basement at foreclosure asking 70k really only needs paint,carpet and landscaping.

From what I can tell in the area, distressed homes sell for 30-45k and 75k would be an ARV on the semi-conservative side of what a rehabbed home would sell for.  

Make sure to set up your Keyword Alerts for the areas & topics you're interested in so you'll get a notification when they're being discussed.I have some good friends who live down in Apex so I'm there on a semi-regular basis.

If you live in it, at least you're living semi rent free.
