My wife and I wanted to flip this house because we love real estate, we want to be financially independent, and we want to improve communities in the beautiful city of Detroit.

Purchase price: $340,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Beautiful single family home close to downtown.

I just need first, last, security, and a weekend of interior decorating.

Also, I don’t know if it matters but he had a very beautiful black dog and after he moved out, the place was very filthy.

If the scenario were changed and an earthquake caused the decoration to fall from the wall and break, it would likely be that the tenant is at fault for not adequately securing the decoration to the wall.

The corner looks beautiful. 

I am trying to keep costs low, so we are just keeping it the natural oak color and hopefully it turns out beautiful!

Those can be very costly mistakes but very educational ones as well.The beautiful aspect of real estate investment is that there are multiple strategies that can work for each investor's situation; there is no "one right way."

Focus on function over beauty because there's a chance it will move a lot and tenants generally treat things rougher than you would.

It varies greatly  My parents live in a huge & beautiful home in the ‘Shelby Forest’ area (SF backs up to Meeman-Shelby State Park & there are many homes in Shelby Forest’s extended area up the bluff towards Tipton County that are close to million dollar homes).
