that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Traditional deals often don’t excite investors—offering $200/month in cash flow isn’t very compelling.But with co-living, you can offer 5X the returns, making it much easier to secure funding.Now, instead of asking an investor to put up a 20% down payment for $200/month cash flow, you can pitch them a 5% down investment yielding $1,000+/month—a much more attractive deal.Why Co-Living is the FutureCo-living isn’t just another strategy—it’s a high-demand, high-cash-flow, lower-risk investment model that aligns with today’s rental market trends.

But if costs are high or demand is uncertain, holding onto the land while monitoring the market might be the better play.

@Connor ChatlosDenver and Chicago's high property values make multifamily properties ideal for house hacking.

I think the house flows really well in person (open floorplan, high ceilings, large house with spacious room sizes) and you just can’t represent that in 2-D photosI’m honestly not sure how to do a video or 3D virtual walk-through or whatever, I haven’t looked into it and have no idea how much it costs.

I highly recommend hiring an attorney, at least for your first time.Some attorneys specialize in evictions.

I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks,SG There are lenders out there either with low LTV or high fees  pick your poison

We plan on replacing the flooring and possibly new kitchen countertops.
