Looking to interview a couple of additional builders for construction of 3 new homes in SE Raleigh.  

If landlords in SE Michigan and other regions were to join this effort or initiate concurrent efforts we should be able to raise significant funds and have a greater impact.

  - 25% in total expenses = $4,500- That's $13,500 in NOI (Net Operating Income)- Cap Rate =  $13,500 / $150,000 = 9%Actively listed right now in Grand Rapids there's a duplex at 142 Carrier Street NE renting at $600/ea ($1,200 total) listed for $130,000, and there's another at 649 Easter Ave SE that should get $750/ea ($1,500 total) listed for $145k.

I think it will pull most of the workers from SE Portland, Gresham, Troutdale, and Wood Village.
