My journey began with a simple mission to build a legacy through real estate, not just for myself but to serve as a beacon for my family and community.Today, I run D&D Realty LLC, where we focus on acquiring undervalued Single-Family and small multifamily properties in Cleveland, Ohio, revitalizing them, and creating strong, cash-flowing assets.

Option 4: ADU Long Play • If you had capital, adding an ADU could transform the deal.

Well, if you buy & renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what Tenant Class will actually rent it?

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:)

You can also increase cashflow via experimenting with MTR & STR in the other units - even in the other bedrooms in your unit.5+ MFR is where you need commercial loan and often you won't occupy, but will hire a PMC.Make sure you understand the challenges of each Property Class A-D.

Quote from @Robert D.: I’m wondering if anyone here has prepared their own certification of trust.

- We see many investors buy Class C/D properties expecting Class A/B results - which may only happen for a short time, but not long-term.Please be aware that zip codes do NOT work in the City of Detroit! 

Even the syndications that comply with Reg D tend to provide less than enough hard information from which to base a decision.  

The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

Remove those and the Net S8 Rent will be market rent.Typically, the only way to get more than market rent is by buying in Class D areas and hoping a S8 tenant will live there instead of a Class C area.Keep in Mind: TENANTS QUALIFY FOR SECTION 8 FOR A REASON!
