The project was an easy, clean lease-up and a major shift in how I now think about infill, zoning, and unlocking hidden value on oversized lots.This became one of my favorite plays: spotting value where others don’t, creating something almost out of thin air.

My plan is to start a website and market the property on it and some social media platforms in addition to supervising on-site management to complete the necessary day-to-day requirements of the property, screening and selecting tenants, etc.

So the potential of additional loans to continue expanding!!!!

But if the cash flow just isn’t there in your buybox, it might be worth expanding your search to nearby markets like Pittsburgh, where prices are generally lower and yields higher.You could also consider being flexible on the “no renovation” rule—sometimes small updates unlock much better returns.

⚡That refinance unlocked a new chapter: he’s now eyeing larger projects, but remains anchored in the same communities🚨Takeaway: If the numbers are right and the story is strong, even the most conservative lenders will support you!

Instead, where you will make your money is if you can execute a business plan that unlocks value.For example, we've built our business around value-add and operational improvements that drive improved NOI over time.

The key is getting in on the right properties—mostly off-market deals that need work to unlock their value.I’ve been investing in Detroit for 6 years and have a 12-door portfolio under my belt.

that's what has really unlocked the next level of things for me in recent years. 

Rent by the room for $2,300/mo and pull a HELOC or cash-out refi to unlock capital.
