I conceder myself somewhat a newbie at this, I currently have 2 properties, 1 I live in the other is rental. All in Detroit. My problem is I'm trying to 2 more properties this year, and pay with cash. Well, for the past month I've been out bided on everything I bid on. Other than the obvious more $$$, what am I missing? I also think, I may need a better realtor, the one I use doesn't seem motivated enough. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

We're closing our first BRRRR property and looking for an architect! We're adding a 400-450 extension to the house to add a bed and bath. It will go from a 2/1 (891 sqft) to a 3/2.

I've spoken to SketchHaus and an independent architect and it's averaging around $4,000 - $5,000 including the layout and plans to have approved permits. Does anyone have someone else that might be cheaper? Our budget is around $2,500. We have rough plans below (red outline is the original footprint).

Any suggestions are welcome!

Norwood Construction out of Atlanta, he’s really good.

That was very good advice from everyone. I’m definitely taking notes.

Hello All,

I'm new to site, but I've heard lots about it. I'm a newbie investor {one property} so far in Detroit. I believe the BRRRR method work best from what I've read. My question is, would anyone know best zip codes to execute this method in Detroit?
