and am currently investing in small multifamilies in the Grand Rapids area. 

Cat piss are really hard to get out if tenant let it sit in the house carpet or in a low ventilation room, and could cost you few grand to try to remove it.

I've also gotten the idea more recently that it might be more like 5 or 6 that each of us could do.Either way, the grand plan is to simply get my first property done through a turnkey...get my feet wet and learn a little more about how things work.

If you want something not as grand, possibly look at the land use for farming etc. if it is viable.

You can see all the pic on Zillow.com 113 Rio Grande Ave Dayton, OH 45426 Thanks!

I would plan on at least a grand for an architect, assuming you can even find one who will look at a job this small.

For example, grand theft auto is not a federal crime unless you cross state line, it is a state felony.

Working in the lending space, I have been seeing many people purchase properties or do refinances in places like Columbus, OH, Grand Rapids, MI, Greensboro, NC, indicating that they may be strong markets.

I am a Property Manager in the 49503-49506 area in Grand Rapids, so a couple hours away from Flint, however I would be happy to answer any questions you have about property management and/or out of state investing in Michigan if you are interested.
