They can change quickly and, as you'll hear, Detroit can be very "block by block".That said, there is a TON of opportunity if you understand the landscape and what you're doing.

Trust me, I've toyed with the idea.Vacant land where it makes sense to build large MFH stock might make sense, but chances are this isn't the land we're talking about here.The reality is most vacant land in Detroit is being repurposed for parks, the Joe Luis Greenway, solar farms, neighborhood gardens, etc.Beyond that, let's say you plan to hold long enough for SFH prices to get high enough where it does make sense to build.

I keep it well maintained with biweekly landscaping.

Cheap quick and easy: trim trees, mulch around base of trees (mulch is $2/bag at lowes right now), remove window bars, pressure wash, add some landscaping to front flowerbeds (I typically do rocks w/ flowering plants, lots of people do mulch there too) and remove the bushes, and possibly add some landscape blocks around the front flowerbed areasIs this a flip or a rental?

Copies of any 3rd party vendor contracts / agreements (landscaping, trash, laundry, etc)7.

Some rough numbers , Price $520K add 15K closing = $535k  New windows and siding $40K = $575k overgrown lot and landscaping $5k =$580K  Kitchen , bathrooms , paint , flooring $60k ( on the low end) New deck it was rotten  $20K They are now in at $660K  This doesnt include holding costs and what ever I missed .

I am a first-time property owner, and I just purchased a triplex; I kept the original landscaper.
