?Account Closed I am not sure of the layout and I am looking at PM due to being new and some time/scheduling.

Mostly I am looking at this one just to see if my calculations are correct and to make sure that I have all of the possible expenses accounted for before I actually look at something to pull the trigger on.  I am still looking at local banks & credit unions to see what all of my financing options are.

A high level comparison is what would you be able to buy 3 SFHs for around there?  Have not been there for years...to know the local market....but is an interesting comparison or possible alternative.

I figured that one would be in Warren.

Why not manage it yourself?  I would hate to send 150 a month on that.

Also it can be tough to rent out those one bedrooms.  Is it on the very top floor?

This one is in Redford but I am also looking at Livonia, Inkster, Southfield, Warren, Roseville, Fraser, and maybe Clinton Twp.
