For example of above, there was a person I know, they bought a house for a rental, the square footage was enough to make a 3rd bed out of a dining room, that would increase the month rent by $400.00 a month if they did that..

This might be the worst store overall, yet it has the best location for housing.

I have done quite a few different things, one of the best to find out who is doing the most volume is go onto good and search for the "we buy houses companies" in the area you are looking to invest.

I don't think anyone predicted that.I've always thought for rentals it's better to buy a $250,000 house and hope for the chance it goes to $350,000 than buy a $500,000 house hoping it goes to $750,000. 

Talk them into leaving voluntarily  (i.e. community pressure to leave, explaining what an eviction case will do to their ability to find future housing)

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

We bought a new primary house in November and had a rental contract on our old house that started Jan.1 2025. 

The house includes high-end upgrades such as custom cabinetry, granite countertops and energy efficient appliances.

I have found that Redfin actually has pretty good search parameters to where you can look for listings that have been sitting a while that fit your buy box, and you can even do keyword searches for things like "as is", "investor", "seller financing", "guest house", etc. depending on what you are looking for.

@Christine VasquezHow high can housing prices in the City of Detroit go?
