I think we are still on the front side of that hill, but it is clearly reaching a point that we are topping it, but I would not lose any sleep over it, it's a multi generational thing.

If 50s style ranches work, then Univerity Hills, Wellshire, Virginia Village would be options.

It depends on what your lease says.If your lease states that no modifications, repairs or improvements can be made by the tenant without prior consent, then I'd say it's a pretty strong case.If your lease is silent or states that tenant is responsible for repairs or does not need to get consent, then you might be on fairly shaky ground.

Investing in a rental in UNM/Nob Hill/EDO could be a good option, provided you find a good deal, a good manager, and are open to that option.

There are some good deals in southport, decatur, greenwood, chappel hill that meet the 1% rule.

Then, to our dismay, the family went silent.  

Try: Suzanne Miller Butzel Long LogoStoneridge West41000 Woodward Ave.Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304www.

For that kind of money ou could buy and rehab two or three single family homes in some of the 'burbs such as Oak Lawn, Midlothian, Country Club Hills, Homewood, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, etc, and end up with $300 to $500 per month cash flow...

Unless this is a place in Auburn Hills/Pontiac less than a mile from Oakland University you will be in for a real ride.

It makes sense to me judging by the hill in the background.
