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.

That beaing said you should focus on buying a 2-4 unit Multifamily the more doors the more cash flow. 

Good Morning,So I have always dreamed of getting a duplex as my first house and to house hack to get my foot in the door in real estate investing.

Painting, plastering, refitting out fixtures and fittings, windows and doors.

I would notify her in person and in writing (big note on her door) including quoting the clause in the lease where she is responsible, and tell her you will be inspecting to insure the heat remains on, high enough to protect your unit, or she will be breaking the terms of her lease and also liable for any damage done in the downstairs unit as well.

Not sure, but I don't see interest rates coming down much in 2025.There are always opportunities if you look for them, no one will like bring them to your front door on a silver platter.It seems like when you aren't looking for opportunities they do present themselves.Kinda like it's easier to find a girlfriend when you already have one.

Landscaping upgrades, exterior painting, new siding, a new roof, and upgraded front doors and windows can dramatically increase ARV by improving the home's exterior appearance.5.

It's an A-framed garage with shingles roof, gutters, windows, and a 32" exterior door (in addition to a 16' operating face door). 

I was able to check an old listing and it showed it as being 2 units instead of 3 and one bedroom/bathroom less than what they are claiming.Tomorrow I plan on having my pretty wife knock on a couple doors, hopefully she can talk to someone living there so we don't get something substantially different.

For example, the 2nd to last photo of a random wall and floor with part of open door; what is that supposed to be telling?
