What novice is going to start fresh drafting a 2-story duplex in a coastal hurricane prone region having no prior knowledge on designing or the architecture/engineering of it?

Hello, After reading books( rich dad poor dad, etc) , and listening to BP, I've decided I really want to get my life on a path of financial freedom, and free of my restrictive parents. My goal is to have my first prop...

This is a house build in 1930 in Garden City, MI.

I mainly invest in the 36603, 04, 05 zip codes.The market is going up, OGD (Oakleigh Garden District) has experienced a bunch of flips recently and pushed property values up considerably.

My windows are right at ground level (it's a "garden apartment" - lower level of a split-level house), and the mower throws some pretty mean debris.

I own 7 four family properties in Southwest garden, North Hampton, South Hampton area.

The property we bought around $475,000 at the time (paying 25% down) and in 13 years is now over USD$1.1million (our neighbor upstairs and comps are selling for that and our apartment is nicer and has more things...like a wine cellar, full parking spot and 'bodega' (storage) in the middle of city, storage, winter garden, etc.).

If it really bothers you, then try meditation, or other relaxing things, like getting fresh air at a park, to help get it off your mind.

Everything about this business is a learning curve, and going back through the years of my posts you will certainly find attacks on Cleveland...in hindsight I regret taking the low road there...after a year away from BP I have a renewed perspective on this stuff and to be honest, I have grown to be a true fan of Ohio real estate in general...it's about bringing everyone up a level and promoting our state in general, not outright local market promotion at the expense of another market or market professional....hopefully the younger Columbus guys will take this same approach as they learn.btw- fresh off a Cuyahoga Valley trip and back to Ohio City for the 5th time, lol.

@Jorge Ruiz the current rents are 875/850 but with some LVP flooring and fresh paint, I’m fairly certain I can get at least 950/unit.
