I usually get duplexes in decent condition for about $22k and put a couple of Grand into it with myself doing the work.

@Kaitlyn AragonMy first property was a primary residence that I house hacked.Second property was a rental property that needed $8k in repairs.Third property was a flip that made a modest return.Now we do 20+ flips/brrrs per year and raise money for them.The point here is that you don’t have to start with a grand slam.

The total monthly payment will be pretty close to this: P&I - $1,295, Taxes - $420, Insurance - $175, PMI - $220, for a grand total of around $2,100/m.

Off of  Rio Grande Ave.

Some areas in MI to consider: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Petoskey/Charlevoix Area...

I have properties in Grand Prairie, Arlington and Ft Worth.

It is insane how many people visit the area.The National Park their has more visitors every year than the Grand Canyon.

I have investment properties in Metro Detroit, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids.

I have invested with Praxis but that was a new home construction fund and it was ho hum, underperforming my expectations, but made money nonetheless.  

You don’t have to start with a grand slam.
