Don't pay attention to how tall it is. Just measure length times width. My house is a 2050sqft ranch and almost as long as the building in that picture so seems plausible.

Nevermind. I think its only referring to one unit of the building.

$1042 HOA fee

truth be told depending on where you
live it's a buyers market right now.
5k and you can cop a few flats,
run through them with drywall,
paint and up to date lighting,
bathroom,kitchen to pass inspection
and youre a damn landlord.

At an auction?

Maybe its just me but how the hell is that building only 2200 sq feet? What am I missing here?

It's a unit in the building that's 2200 sqft. Not the entire building itself.

At an auction?

when people cant pay tax's on property
and the state takes it.
find out where they keep the list
and go down there and buy some.
cut out the middle man (realtors)

I'm trying to learn more about Detroit investments. My homegirl lives there but she's bullshytting, it's a crew of us trying to invest. What neighborhoods should I look at? Y'all into renting single family homes or is it best to buy a multi unit? How about finding 6-10 unit buildings? If I could find something with legit promise, I could definitely get 3-4 of my girls together to invest.

Mine is $1085 and I dont live in the nicest of neighborhoods

Its because we have a gated community with private water, trash, and yard maint included.

What have been your experiences with Homeowners insurance?

I think it's kind of a scam

I havent needed them for anything but its nice to know there is a safety net should our house get flooded/damaged. In houston everyone lives on a flood plan so it could happen to anyone at almost any heavy rain incident.

All insurance is a scam though. Luckily in 10-15 years no one will need car insurance.

Getting ready to sell my house. Updated the kitchen a little went with stained concrete countertops. DIY turned out aight. Less than $200 worth of material.

Just got my first one 7 months ago, 3 bed, two bath , two car garage $85k.

Few tips:

-unless you buy brand new, there will always be repairs to be made, so keep at least $1k in the bank

-don't go crazy with upgrade soon as you get the place

-youtube repairs and upgrades before you pay someone to do them you would be surprised how easy some projects are. I redid a bedroom wood floor for like $200

-keep up on maintenance things like mowing the lawn, painting the fence, changing your furnace filters etc

-keep your home secure, invest in a alarm system at w, I learned that the hardy way, house got broken into on Xmas while I was away

It's been a good experience overall, made a few mistakes along the way but you live and you learn

where do you live.....
