I'm not implying the roof would need immediate work... but adding a layer of shingles only runs a few grand... the problem is, if there's 2 or 3 layers already on you can't simply do that.  

I'm new to the real estate game, with a grand total of zero deals lol I've wanted to get into real estate for years and never made a move.

The new buyer, Ariana Grande, paid $6.75 million in 2020, a quick profit of at least $3 mil.10.

A few grand on closing costs up front, $24K to sell on the back end.

This house may be able to be put back into shape for a few grand and rented again.  

Great investment market (REI) because of low cost of entry and rent/ownership ratio is strong.We have the largest medical center in the entire world with the leading cancer center that is a destination facility people come from all over to visit.Oh and I almost forgot, buy a place on the new Grand Parkway (Texas Route 99) because it is a game changing new toll road that is linking all the burbs like never before.

It called preexisting nonconforming grand father.

Having lived and worked in Detroit, East Lansing, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids during residency, I personally would veto going anywhere near Detroit.  

If it's east side near Fargo or Grand Forks, then I would say you're good to go for years to come.
