Hello, I was trying to comp some houses in Detroit and I found that almost all of the recently sold homes in the area didn't have pictures of the interior of the homes on zillow or anywhere else.

I am actually looking at a house that is not a Victorian but needs part of the home bulldozed and a ton of work done.

That’s why houses are up 100-200%.

Pick up the book Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub.

I eventually want to buy a house but I think as a novice this will give me some experience and the opportunity to learn the challenges that I will need to overcome once I do buy my property. 

So ultimately, you should sell your primary, rent a cool house, invest in rentals. 

Hi Folks,I would like to know your opinion, is it good idea to buy $1M multifamily (two family) house for investment purpose in jersey city area (jersey city heights).

Your also spending 4-5k a year in taxes on a 90k house. 

And for the short term goal, do a house hack as you have planned.If you need any more direction send me a message.

Quote from @Zach Rumfield: This particular property might make for a good house for professors or staff at Delta State if anyone has connections to that school.
