I would like to double down on the great point @Brian Kantor made when he said there are plenty of great duplexes and SFH in the metro Detroit area you will have more than enough chances to get your feet wet here.

I used white BM Advance waterborne alkyd for it's superior wetting out.I think most tenants in my area paying ~$1500 are comfortable with light to mid wood cabs and are not looking for the latest trend.

Hi All, I’m new to BiggerPockets and would like to know how to find a Part time real estate job with flexible hours to get my feet wet.

I went to the property today and there was no mail in there not even around the house, just wet yellow books.

A water resistant laminate plank, or high end LVP, might actually make more sense here if people are coming in from the beach/pool and wetting the floors on a daily basis. 

I have no experience in it, so I'd like to start getting educated in how others got their feet wet in land development. 

1) Paid cash instead of used someone else money.2) You didn't following the 70% rule.I have not get my foot wet because I couldn't by pass the two rules above. 

Look at smartvents for wet flood proofing, put garage downstairs and wet flood proof it, living space up above flood level.

All wet utilities and points of connection.

Now, inspired by reading many many posts and listening to web casts in biggerpockets, I want get my foot wet into a buy and hold small multi-family homes.
