Quote from @Michael Belz: I was impressed by your blog post discussing the success of small cash-flowing real estate deals in Detroit, particularly with smaller houses.

As an agent who has successfully helped over 25 house hack buyers in the last in 4 years, and have sold over 500 properties in my career, what you are looking for, in the price range listed simply doesn't exist. 

The best strategy I seem to have deployed so far was to contact all my current tenants and let them know I’d give them a cash referral fee of $250 for anyone they recommend to me that goes through the vetting process and successfully moves in.

Completely agree that each market is unique, and success comes from actually doing the work.

In order to successfully sue you they would have to prove you were negligent, so if you are not in fact negligent, again you should be fine. 

I wish you the best on your live in flip this year and hope to hear of your successes/lessons learned from it!

They really want my wife and I to find success, which has ended up being a win-win. 

Hi Zachary, congrats on the success you've had so far!

Huntsville is a challenging market given the price points but I've had clients find good success in the suburbs. 

Looking forward to seeing your success!
