Quote from @Chip Chronister: I invest in fort smith but what made you choose fort smith?

We are located in Oak Island.

We have been looking at SFH properties in the $250,000 - $350,000 range in Detroit (Bagley, Jefferson Chalmers, Piety Hill, etc) and some of the surrounding suburbs (Ferndale, Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, etc).

I also forgot to add that you should get a consumer-friendly credit monitoring app to take a look at what you can chip away at.

I've decieded to use white shaker cabinet (maybe two tones)+black haredware+oak color floor. but not pretty sure about the wall color. if I do pure white/extra white for the wall. two things that i'm concerned about. first, there is no contrast bewteen the cabinet and the wall; second, a 70's house is low ceiling, less natural light, texured on the ceiling (kind of porpcorn ceiling).

You are playing with bigger chips.

These also require 40% down, whereas A/B class assets like those in garden oaks will probably require 60% down just to break even. 

Thank you North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds.

Hey guys,Does anyone have a recommendation for a good handyman in the Clawson + Royal Oak + Troy area of Southeast Michigan? 

The old windows rub against the old paint causing it to grind against each other and chip, flake or slowly wear away.
