In construction your plans are your Bible, so you need to know how to locate any discrepencies, locate answers to questions froms trades, understanding "Take-offs" with your materials, and be able to visualize in a 3D space what the plans are describing.

@Derick JenningsRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I have a rental property in Detroit that I am looking to get certified, and have tried following the process on the Detroit Housing Commission website (https://www.dhcmi.org/landlord-faqs), which says " To list your property with the Detroit Housing Commission (DHC), you can visit DHC’s Assisted Housing Division office located at 2211 Orleans, Detroit, Michigan 48207.

If the land is in a suitable location, this could open up opportunities for developing 2 homes or even selling off one of the lots, which could lead to a good profit.

If you look in another location I would stick to the 2 you are already investing in and expand your footprint.

Each one has been a step up as far as space, location, and lay-out.

With that being said, if there are any agents or investors located in Western NY willing to let me learn from them, or simply learn more about them, I am willing to work something out and/or possibly work for free.  

Norfolk is where the majority of multifamily inventory is located, Virginia beach is zoned much more single family. 

The complex is gated, 10 mins from my work, and in a good location.

Where is it located?
