ThanksHello Imani, my husband and I have been building big beautiful brick properties day in and day out in Detroit for the passed 5 years straight and I’m proud to say we are experts in all aspects of building and maintaining successful rental properties in Detroit City.  

Pacific Modern Homes is a great example - we built one of their kits in the 1990's and it was beautiful/ really minimized labor and scrap onsite.

Some of our renovation were cosmetic rehabs , many full gut rehabs and some in betweens but we always went one step further to make certain the property was beautiful and in full compliance with section 8.

My best deals weren't beautiful, but had good bones and upside potential.Run your numbers carefully.

Beautiful, go do it yourself, I will wish you good luck.

Hi Nico,Thank you for your post, You mentioned that hiring a few virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call has been effective, and that text messaging is also performing decently,I specialize in identifying and revitalizing unique properties—those that are not typical, for example, I recently spotted a triangle-shaped property that has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, either for living or resale, Could you please share your approach and any guidance you might have on the process of using virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call and the text messaging strategies that have been effective for you?

Beautiful area that I visit often. 

The beauty of investing...you do it how you want!

I’d love to get your input on my options.Background:Age: 34Location: San Diego, CACurrent Living Situation: Renting a beautiful apartment across from the beach for $3,200/month.

If you are looking to build quick capital and another full-time job, then flipping may be the answer...if you are looking for a slightly more passive approach and looking to build that long-term wealth, buy&hold'ing is maybe a better strategy.I've found introspecting on where I want to go long-term has helped clarify my short-term path...The beautiful part is Chicago offers all options at affordable prices general speaking compared to other metro areas.
