My reno strategy was literally I can get this at lowes and have a handyman do this and handyman do that I can paint this and I can paint that.... 2 months later at 2 interest payments later and a fat bill from my not-so handy handyman...

Detroit homes are DIRT CHEAP people are literally giving them away.

It happened to us - once - but it's not bad because we literally make hundreds of offers a week...so we were able to avoid losing our EMD for the most part.

Who wouldn't like a 13-20% cap rate, but for me, something that caps at 7% and nets $480/mo would be awesome—three of those and I could literally retire!

I literally would not have finished this house without his help.

Impossible to answer, there are literally thousands of markets across the US, you would have to be more specific to the market to get input.An insurance agent in the market would have a very good idea as they typically use replacement cost amounts to calculate how much insurance is needed.In SO Cal, you can expect build costs to be around $125 sq. ft. for regular homes.

Meaning my word ISN't the last word, it's my boss.I do this because if the tenants know you are the owner, they will harass you literally.

I literally had a lady tell me that she hadn't had hot water in over 4 months.  

I literally just sat down and about to think about how my boyfriend and I can effectively... 1)both work as leasing agents, 2) for him to continue part time field tech work, 3)continue launching/building our real investing business, and 4)we'll both be taking the broker licensing course next month.  

And for every good leasing agent there's 10 that are clueless (because they will literally give the job to anyone breathing with a license).
