Quote from @Al Watts: @Jay Hinrichs btw i wish my dad was doing land sales back in the 60's and helping the family get a head start --oh wait he couldn't because he was being sent to the colored folks bathrooms and drinking fountains instead and being denied at the banks... 

., a friend of mine lives in North central area not to far from here.. this new build fits in nice with the CHS single style houses. .great job.. love the color Thank you it was under the jurisdiction of the BAR so U do need your plans and ascetics approved at the city level and that takes about 3 to 5 months and multiple meetings which does create drag on money out for the lot..

Inside updating all the hardware to a black or whatever accent color.

Just scroll to the bottom of your listing link and you can see 4 places that are quite a bit nicer for under $1500.You are offering small 900sqft with an original kitchen, only ONE bathroom that is dated and has no counter space, an interior that is a mix of finishes and colors, tile ceiling, super basic light fixtures, no garage and a totally overgrown yard - all of that screams total neglect.

He did a search on that car model and color and popped up several cases open from other law enforcement offices from other towns.5.

Using an in color when your floors and cabinets don't go well with it is as bad as leaving the current colors. 

I know on my new builds that are 700 to 1 mil I get 10 to 20k and normally its just held in escrow. it is non refundable once we start putting in custom colors etc.

Regarding amenities, focusing on affordability is smart, but even small touches like well-maintained landscaping and curb appeal, modern or fresh paint colors, energy-efficient LED lighting, updated cabinet hardware, ceiling fans, good window treatments, and ample storage solutions all stand out and can help fill units faster and improve tenant satisfaction.

But they are ever so rare today, not just a needle in a haystack but more so finding a specific color of needle, with a specific bend to it, in a stack of needles in a hay barn....... 

The overruns weren't caused by the Land Bank or thir requirements, they were due to inevitable surprises when you do major renovations.Rcommend NOT focusing on Land Bank properties, instead look at everything on the market and buy the best BRRR property you can find.One last thing, many of the Land Bank properties are in Class D Neighborhoods:( VERY difficult to make these work as rentals or flip.If you'd like to chat more, DM us and check out the Interactive Map of Metro Detroit with color-coded Classes on our website - to make better decisions:)
