@Adam Shindler You will get better averages if you find out insurance premiums based on the Property's insured value, not # of units. 

I'm looking to buy two rental props in Harper woods.

I have seen a person in my neck of the woods over the last 30 years take advantage (including the family that does not want to take care of him) of unsuspecting landlords.

Just finished a bathroom with a large wood-framed mirror I got from the Habitat ReStore.

You should get about $180 a cord, cut split and delivered, for green wood right now.

Plus, you may think selling the SC property would give you the funds to begin investing somewhere else, but prices are at a premium right now and you can't do quite as much as you may think with those funds.

I have asbestos siding on 2 of my rentals and I love the stuff as it is much more durable then wood siding.

Those wood floors are so nice I wouldn't want to walk on them!!!

We will use some off white/muted grey wall colors, grey tile, white cabinets, and light grey granite countertops in the kitchen and baths.On the exterior, we are planning to replace the roofs on all buildings with 40 year architectural shingles and paint the exterior a complimentary color which will be create a sense of place and setting in the woods surrounding the home.The most challenging part of this flip will be removing the trees around the house. 

In snowy areas, you'll find a lot of metal roofs and in high end areas, wood shingles.A lot of homes built by big development companies will not be built to support the weight of tile roofs.
