The ceilings were already a nice height at 9'.

Roof layout, height, and slope also affect the price, but not by that much. 

Some areas I was looking to buy were: JSQ, Bergen Lafayette, the Heights, and Bayonne.

Ortonville and Baldwin area are nice ..anything in Royal oak, Berkley ( which is were i was born ) is always hot ..some parts of Warren , Sterling heights ... just about anything in the 248 area code ... but like any area you just have to watch and research and  watch and research watch and research .. then execute ... it should not take long to determine on your own which is the hit areas .. also never hurts to join a local reia. and get to know your agents and brokers right away ... i seen a stellar deal up in Ortonville about 1.5 months ago .. the arv on the place was well over $250k and they were asking $54k .. i dont care if you had to tear it down and rebuild ..it was worth it ..

I'm thinking for your ceiling if you don't mind losing some height, figure out of way to attach a loose foam material to the existing ceiling and put another layer of gypsum bd on top.

Hi all,I own a multi-family property in Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) and am looking for ways to boost my income.

I also improved my marketing content and this netted my third deal:The Third DealMy current deal is a brick beauty in University Heights, a very desirable Cleveland Suburb.

You can find nice pockets of older homes within areas with relatively good school districts that attract families like Sterling Heights and Farmington Hills.  

You don't want to be the person that bought rental properties at the height of the market instead of paying off your loans.
