BRRRR can work on Detroit Land Bank/Land Trust houses, but only if you treat them like heavy rehabs with strict compliance: read every program stipulation, confirm deed restrictions and rehab timelines, and underwrite all‑in cost with big‑ticket items first (roof, sewer, foundation, electrical, HVAC) plus contingencies and holding time; many lenders won’t finance until work is complete, so plan cash, private, or bridge funds and expect permit oversight and inspections.

At the time of purchase, 1 unit was vacant and 3 units were occupied by long term tenants.Renovations:  We did a new roof and electrical upgrade for entire property.

My dad is an electrical contractor, so I've  been around the construction side of things my whole life and even been apart of a few house flips with my dad, so that makes me want to maybe start that way.

Pay attention to electrical -check panel, outlets etc.

Most hotels dont have kitchens in the rooms , water heaters , rooms are small , electric isnt metered per unit .

At this point I am trying to gain insight on if I should look for another contractor to finish this job (the additional bedroom) or outsource specific task like for example electrical to skilled tradespeople and complete the task I am comfortable with doing myself.

We have since completely gutted the home (lower story floors, joists, beams, all plumbing and electric) and rebuilt it into a pretty nice 3BR, 2BA, 1,500 sq ft home, which has cost us about $110K.

Looking for any and all, Landscaping, doors and windows, roofing, flooring, plumbing, masonry, carpentry, electrical, handy man....etc. appreciate ya and as stated as close to or in Euclid as much as possible please.
