Properties are super cheap in Flint for a reason!

The neighborhood I'm looking in is a pretty rough, which is why homes are so cheap, but the opportunity is there to provide clean, safe, and affordable housing for a Section 8 voucher holder.

Let the tenants use curtains that are cheap and easy, plus it allows them to determine the color/decor.Tear out the sink and replace with a vanity that has more storage and an updated look.Unless this is a B or better property, I would probably leave the current mirror/vanity.

Average rent around 2k/month which is cheap out here.

And it's not as cheap as many think, especially in quality areas.

Just be careful of chasing properties in cheap, Class D neighborhoods and expecting Class A results.

Before you buy you 1st build you awareness of real estate investing, potential team members that you will need over the journey that will likely last the rest of your life and commence recruiting people and investing time seeking out knowledge and WISDOM.Wisdom would say buy in the down cycles of the market and refi cheap when rates are low but investors often have ants in their pants.  

Yes I used a Heloq to help with the downpayment on our first STR.I also use the heloq for buying cheap LTR properties or at Tax Lien Auctions and then I pay it off quickly. 

If you start filling up to quickly then you might be too cheap. 

So I’m guessing you got your house cheap.
