The property just closed in September.Mortgage, taxes, insurance, and PMI come to $2,800 per month, rents from the three units I don’t live in are $2,705 and due for an increase, and plus I rent out a room in my unit for $650/month (granted you probably wouldn’t be comfortable doing this with a family) for a total of $3,355 rents per month.

I have heard Douglas Fir is pretty soft and can get beat up (especially in a rental).2)  Would it look strange to a renter to have three different floor types in the three rooms (Oak, Douglas Fir, Laminate)?

Its a 4 bedroom townhouse with three rooms upstairs and a room in the basement.

I will be attending Than Merrill's three-day weekend event in Detroit, MI and I am nervous!

Anyway, here is my latest before and after of a recently complete show suite in a three unit townhouse project.old kitchen - nastyNew kitchen - beautifulold bathroom - extra nastynew bathroom - extra niceAny builders out there? 

Credit Karma (Free) is also a great site if you are not already on there as they provide insights into all three major credit reports and provide you tips about what is really dragging you down. 

I narrowed down my market search to three different places and I am currently working with realtors in all 3 locations.

I don’t know about laws and taxes for a foreign investor but, besides that I feel totally ready to begin.The money I pretend to use is from one of my three properties that are for sale here in Sao Paulo-Brazil.

The market for MFH is limited to investors here almost exclusively (there are few "live in one, rent three" setups locally) and there's no real rhyme or reason that I can see as to why these places go on the market. 

I have three SFH's.
