With interest rates climbing gradually and the "potential" for a recession, the need for housing is still at an all-time high and people are choosing apartments for several reasons.

FF will not send possible housing requests unless they are an exact match for what you offer or if the resident chooses to send a direct message. 

It needs new carpet, everything needs to be painted, the bathtub needs to be reglazed, and some of the outlets are still 2-prong.

We half-finished the basement, adding drywall, paint, and trim.

It seems that if you can find a good deal on the purchase price, are willing to do cosmetic updates (floors, painting, maybe a kitchen) you can get that 100-200/month cash flow.  

If you just chase returns, you might choose the house in Detroit, vs what long term might be better investment in Taylor. 

It is NOT like what social media or influencers try to paint, it's hard work. 

What happens to your value if you close, choose not to get it permitted, and then the city says you can't do it and you lose the income?

Buy a house that needs cosmetic work, kitchen, bath, flooring, paint, lights etc and fix it up yourself while living in it for a year.

I have 14 doors and one commercial space and am looking to choose an AI tool to take-away the apprehension of unknows and provide the data and answers that I need to make a data driven decision towards purchase.
