You'd be hard pressed in the city of St.

I have talked to them a few times and keep pressing. 

For example, they say no but you ask "what if I build a bus stop (bench, sign, some shade) in front of my building."

However, I have to keep an optomisitc attitude and keep pressing forward with my goals!

Been wracking my brain and all that i can come up with is: Advertising: Appraisers/Attorneys/CPAs Bandit Signs Being Transferred Best Offer Billboards/Bus bench or stop Bird Dogs Brainstorm with Team Bring All Offers Brochures/Flyers Bulletin Boards Business Cards Car Signs - Magnetic Career attire Desperate - Must Sell Direct Mail Door Hangers Drive the Area Finder's Fee offerred Friends - Tell all you Buy!

If the Tenant challenges it and you have to go to court, you will be hard pressed to find a judge that will side with you as the landlrd trying to make the tenant pay for a 5 year old fridge because he broke the plastic bins and glass shelves out if it.Additionally, IF the judge DOES side with the Tenant, you could be looking at paying the tenant back x double in damages (at least in AZ they can collect up to 2 month's rent or twice the cost of security deposit withheld).So I am just saying that it's a risk. 

Some people will tell you to just get hard money and if you can’t wholesale it, just flip it at retail But in my experience, if you do not have your own guys on your payrolll for the rehab and you have to pay a general contractor retail for a rehab, plus the hard money costs, plus the selling costs.....I think you will be hard pressed to make money ( or maybe I should say you will be hard pressed to make enough money to make this sustainable).

Growth on a whole though is pretty good for GR and Kentwood and numerous time GR is in the press for things like hottest ZIP in the nation (49505) and best place to start a business, Learn medical .....Hope that answers your questions. 

I think due to a lot of the negative press about Bmore over the last few years -- home prices haven't increased as much as other neighboring cities. 

Regarding housing, you will be hard-pressed to find good deals in any of those areas.
