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.

It's like a rough draft or an assistant, not you.

Hey @Marc ShinLook, I’ve been at this for a couple of decades now, and I still remember this small bungalow I fixed up in Hillcrest back when I first got my start.. it was a 1920s place too, a bit rough around the edges.

When I got in myself it was rough.

Reason for question: If i were to purchase a SFH  for $75k and spend roughly $175k renovating the 3 bedroom home and converting a massive garage into two 1 bedroom apartments, I believe the property would be still appraise for about $220k.

Aging reports would be another avenue to explore, but again, may not even have these.Lastly, while maybe this property is in a desirable area of town with strong demand from highly qualified tenants, but I get the impression this is a rough part of town, with very limited demand from tenants.

I will be investing roughly 10k into equipment for this new gig. 

In the Kansas City metro area the river runs roughly west to east.

roof on, framing done, pool started, rough plumbing done, electrical rough will start next Thursday, A/C install next Tuesday. 

The rehab turned out good even if doing it was rough between us at times.
