See my other posts for typical renovation costs in Metro Detroit, and how to build a portfolio in Metro Detroit if you don't live locally.

The setup: We have a second home at a lake which we enjoy when we can.

Coming at you live from Nashville, TN.

There was a time in my 20's that I enjoyed being near all of the lights, sirens, and and amenities that a major metro provides but as you age you start to understand that it's really over rated.I grew up in small town Kansas and have lived in some big cities after I graduated college.

I’m considering getting a 4 bedroom for 130,000 but want to make sure I can live in it and rent it out.

I previously lived in Katy, TX from 2018 to 2020 and observed significant growth in the suburbs.

After saving for years and being priced out of nearly all of our favorite neighborhoods here in the northeast, we decided to give up the American Dream of being house poor the rest of our lives and get into real estate.

Where else have you lived, where else do you know, where do your closest friends and families live?

So we did live in it for 71 days last year before moving from the state, so it was technically only available for rent for 294 days...and out of those days it actually had renters for 151 days.

Thank you so much.Hey Johnson,I live in Tampa and can connect you with an option or two.
