Most of the time I do the BRRRR strategy and I have scaled to 9 doors now, one of which I'm planning to flip.

Hi Yooni,I’ve been self-managing my 12 Detroit doors for the last 2.5 years, and while I’ve made it work, it’s been far from easy.

Every state is different but what if you added additional egress doors/staircases? 

They normally do a very poor job that will have to be corrected later - drips on the floor, doors walls and molding, poor job of cutting in, bleed through on the walls.

Look for multis with separate entrances in different areas like one door in front for one unit and a door on the side or back for another.

May allow you to get more rent vs the same house next door without a pool. 

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

Hey Maxwell,Find an area that you would like to farm and start sending out oversized postcards via the USPS's Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). 

ONLY knock on doors and ONLY within 10 days of the auction. that is when folks are getting a reality check that they must do something.

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.
