I increased the equity by $200K on mine by freshening up the lower unit and fixing some systems in the building. 

I remeber when a close friend of mine took on a similar project outside of Phoenix.

That’s probably much harder to find today unless it needs lots of work like mine did.

I also believe part of my “firing” was due to the fact that on the phone with her she mentioned how the lease renewal fee paid to her was less than what it should have been due to entry error by the person who entered the contract.I also received an invoice for $2700 for painting that was done TO ANOTHER HOUSE THATS NOT MINE!

For some context I'm hoping to invest immediately when I begin working (1 year from now), and am alright with moving whenever there is a better opportunity for my job/RE investing.Can always count on the BP community to give great advice, so I'm looking forward to everyone's perspectives on a slightly large life decision of mine!

Doug, Detroit is an absolutely goldmine if you take the time to understand it.

That BPO agent is gold.
