We have slowly upgraded the property by adding in a new driveway, walkway, new duct work under the house, updated the landscaping for curb appeal, installed recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout the house and repainted all the interior rooms.

I currently own a 3 bedroom townhouse and rent out 2 of the rooms.

What are your thoughts on Grand Blanc?

I came up with this crazy idea of renting a room from an investor that would be willing to mentor me.

Aww to 2014 when there were homes like this all over the Grand Rapids area.

Now I have been notified by the Section 8 administrator that she no longer qualifies for a 2 bed room apartment.

From what I’ve read they will have a tough time reclassifying since a lot of people live in their STRs either part or full time (if they rent out a room for example).

Also when I looked at the photos of the place and read the agent comments the $7K in rehab number seems low too, it looks like the family room or living room is missing flooring and the kitchen and one bath could use some love.Overall your analysis seemed very close to me but would love to here other member's opinions!

Where is there room for improvement?
