I am paying $225 per season, which includes the driveway, sidewalk, and the walkway from the drive to the porch.This is my first season with this company and so far they seem to be doing a good job, they work in Oakland County though so not sure if they would hit Redford.

Did SFH appreciate 100-200% because people moving there wanted to buy, or was it mainly a large increase in rent rates which would drive the decision to continue to go for the doubles/triples.Maybe some North Dakota investors can join the conversation?

While this seems great, It's only been 1 deal, in six months of driving driving driving (over 2000 properties), mailing absentee owners over and over (1,700 properties), and scouring the internet for possible deals.

Getting engaged in the forums made investing real for me and it jump started my growth as an investor.

My favorite to this day - drive up and down every street in the neighborhood and call every single for rent sign in the neighborhood.

Close if you have to, but likely someone will buy it from you at 15-20% more than the price you locked in.Your market is ideal for growth.

Someone could turn you in , or an inspector could drive by and see work trucks .

The buddy system is an interesting strategy and seems like a good deal for everyone -- since you have novices driving prices up.

Guess I'll have to drive some of the areas to get a first hand look.

Would you suggest sending them a letter or maybe driving by to see if I could find out the owners information, possibly from one of the tenants, so I could reach out to them?
