ya Open door capital struggles are well documented..

I tried one in Oregon on a 120 door parcel I had over in Lincoln city..

@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units.

And from there, you will be knocking doors, sending fliers, cold calling, networking with wholesalers, scouring Craigslist and FB marketplace, all the MAYBE find a deal.  

One of the biggest challenges is keeping the bathroom as carefree as possible.

Purchase price: $545,000 Cash invested: $545,000 New Construction Duplex - Beautiful Design and very nice curb appeal. 3 bedrooms 4 bathroom - All bedrooms have private bathrooms.

You and the wife could live in 1 side and you could rent the other doors out.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

For an OOS investor, I would recommend looking at Kansas City as one of my CFO clients also manages 100+ doors for OOS investors and knows the market very well.

While metrics like square footage or price per square foot matter, the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall location are often more critical for attracting tenants.Engaging a property manager early on can save you from costly mistakes and help you invest in properties that perform well in the rental market.
