Quote from @Stuart Udis: The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) recently acquired a 360 unit 12 story multi-family building for $24M and  a local news outlet  reported on the building.  

The good news - there are plenty of family-friendly neighborhoods between St Paul and S Mpls which offer decent opportunities for a househacker - you just need to know where to look, what to avoid, and where the opportunities are (undervalued properties, under rented units, value-add opportunities).

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

You all provided great news and Q&A 😇

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but I truly believe starting with a single as a rental is a major mistake.

Have you gotten out of the original hard money loan or still paying the double digit interest cost?

This is not really news or current events that would be of interest to most RE investors.  

Ok to be like Fox News Fair and Balance this is a 90 home project I own and have been building out the last 3 years.. on top of the 300 homes i have built over the last 10 years.These are the type of firms that have big cataloges of ready plans . 

For example, the garage door must be remotely controlled so:The property manager can remotely open it to allow delivery and service people access.Access to the garage will be through an app on the tenant’s phone, no clickers or digital keypads to reprogram.

My full-time gig is to invest in income-producing websites (digital real estate) and I'm working backwards to first increase the authority of my website to then eventually rank organically in Google.Given my experience building sites, I personally don't think SEO is as complicated as any agency makes it out to be.
