I would think that we would want our furnishings to similarly match the beautiful finishes we used (wherever that sweet spot is) in order to maximize our returns.How are you managing the turnover/cleaning?

Sweet looking place.

In my experience the sweet spot is three weeks for a house priced right.

It is a value add with margins that look pretty sweet - but if the rehab goes double or triple what's been projected then the deal quickly goes from sweet to "meh."

Happy to send a screen shot of the portfolio to anyone who wants to see, it just won’t allow me to attach pics to a reply.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B- These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

I'm ok with holding both, but I figured it'd be sweet to pay off the apartments sooner.

Local and state rules may complicate any and/or all of those options.Thanks for the short and sweet response, Ron.  

I've paid off 19 doors in the past year, BUT- all were above 6%,  privately held with older sellers and/or were commercial loans with shorter terms, adjustable rates and were bothering me for my financials every year like I was a child.I am even leaving my resi's with their sweet fixed rates and long-terms that are under 5% alone, but still punching a monster at 6.5% in the face every month at $7k/mo extra. 

It's bitter sweet.

The "sweet" spot, as mentioned before is about 50-60k for rent in the range of about 750-900.Raytown is another solid market area with two high schools.
