I agree with everything you said 100% & I appreciate the positive feedback. 

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.

@Robert StephensonYou’re in a great position!

I have about 30k right now mostly in a HYSA and am planning to just hang on, I afford everything with my salary and roommates.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Honestly, I would not sign any lease until you positively close and legally own the property.

The country's continuous population growth, coupled with its high demand for urban housing, positions its real estate market for steady, long-term price increases.Over the past decade, cities like Berlin and Munich have seen remarkable growth in property values, with an increasing number of investors betting on the continued upward trend.

Am I in a bad position.

It sounds like you’re in a great position to succeed, given your extensive renovation expertise.As a fellow real estate investor, I completely understand how challenging it can be to choose the right design elements, especially when you want to make a space appealing to potential buyers.
