I don't like the oven being next to the stove. It should be on the L side.
Also, shower ledge and tower bar seem awfully high... almost unusable. Maybe it's the pictures
Rest is fine

Congrats Keith, sounds like a solid base hit! Are most of your rentals in Redford? If so, you and @George P. are buying the town up :-)
The fact that you've started at such a relatively young age means you'll have some pretty amazing life options a few years further down the road. Best wishes.
Hehe
Hi Ken. I'm at 40, soon to be 43. I haven't posted here in awhile but am following this thread.
Will post soon..

Does anyone or have experience with replacing a glass block window? We have one that is leaking and I've never done one and would really like to have someone replace it.
The house is in Ypsilanti, so close to Livonia, Novi, Northville, Canton, Plymouth, South Lyon, Westland, and Ann Arbor.

I am intrigued, coming from the West coast, I just can't relate to those numbers; we here imagine anything in Detroit would have bullet holes or meth labs. Your rents are $3250 less $850 for mortgage plus HOA and taxes? Are you a buy and hold? Isn't your vacancy factor high in Detroit?
We can rent them before we buy them....I had a turnover 2 weeks ago and the moving IN truck was waiting for the moving OUT truck in the driveway

@Keith Jourdan Numbers seem pretty good to me if you can get good tenants in the property, Nice job!
I am jealous of that deal. And Keith is catching up to my 40 in the same area!
