Is it with only the upgrade?

The electrical panel is original, so an upgrade might be needed in the future. 

We have had two homes broken into and materials stolen recently.

If you're okay with that, you can buy in just about any MIdwest city, just make sure you know the landlord-tenant laws.We've broken down the City of Detroit's 183 Neighborhoods, can share if interested.

Purchase price: $165,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I bought a duplex in Racine that needed a lot of cosmetic upgrades.

A clean, neutral-looking curb gives prospective homebuyers a chance to visualize their own additions/upgrades.

I've spent aproximatly 61.5K on expenses over the years, Interest, Property Tax, Isurance, HOA and various repairs and upgrades.

I upgraded the “bones” of the property and the cosmetics.

While the cost can vary depending on the scope, zoning, and materials, I’ve seen similar projects run anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000, depending on factors like plumbing, electrical upgrades, and structural work.If you’d like, I can connect you with a few contractors or architects in Chicago who specialize in basement conversions.

Take the time to break down what needs to be repaired and what upgrades you will be doing.
