Building back utilities can increase your income, but it requires careful planning and execution."

One that stands out to me is 1801 E 69th Terrace. 3/2 with similar square footage.

His reputation in the real estate world is garbage and he loves to say he does not trade time for money yet to find, purchase and renovate over 700 properties, deal with Section 8 tenets, time spent dealing with lawsuits etc he is doing exactly that. 

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

I personally HATE maintenance, so i find jazzy ways to "trade" that with tenant.

If for some reason I need to return security deposit at a different time I'll either take the 3mo interest from their security deposit, or I'll do a trade from my reserves. 

At my point in life everything I own is both a cash flow superstar and appreciating nicely, because I'm invested in growing, popular areas.If I was just starting off now, I'd probably be aiming for value-add in good areas where I could either live there while improving the unit(s) - ie a duplex, triplex - or where I could trade sweat equity for profit, or both.

However, its subscription costs can add up, and the effectiveness of direct mail depends on execution and market conditions.

To sacrifice a good tenant, which is hard to come by these days in favor of higher rent, may not be the trade-off that you need or possibly want.

Just looking to trade advice.
