I would say that a small 2 bed/2 bath in the Garden Tract Area which would be fairly close to the hospitals will run anywhere from $1,200-$1,700 per month.

Hi Aysha, we are currently working with wholesalers in Trinity/Houston Gardens.

My goals for us would be for us to be able to make enough money to be able to live debt free, have him be able to quit his M-F job, and be able to build a house on a beautiful plot of land so I can live my other dream of sustainable gardening.  

Some parts in garden city Redford and Inkster are not that good.

If you want to venture south I can help you out in the Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet and Pawleys market

I have a 2 flat with a garden unit in Irving Park.   

Pressure washers are ok if the person knows how to use them.Then some colored bark/mulch around the garden type area by the entry (between the walk and building) and maybe a load of crushed rock/gravel spread in the drive would give you some cosmetic pop for very little money. 

We just put a beautiful house in Garden Grove on the market on Friday and today received an offer from a local buying agent with a well known firm that he would like to hold open houses for us Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend in order to get a buyer and earn the 2.5% commission we're offering and that on top of that he will throw us an extra $500 for allowing him to do this.

2) Sounds like there are 2 legal, conforming units and then a grand-fathered/accessory garden unit where you would live?  

Now with that disclaimer, I just got a deal under contract yesterday for a 2bed 1bath in Winter Garden, FL for about $41k... to be honest I'm not sure if it's a good deal and I may have a hard time finding a good buyer but I'll try to see where it goes.
