@Lars Hartvig KristiansenCongratulations on closing your first two properties in Michigan and assembling a cohesive team, having interconnected professionals can significantly streamline operations, especially for out-of-state investors.Many investors report positive experiences when replicating similar team structures in new markets by leveraging referrals from established networks, such as online forums or local investor associations, to identify reliable agents who can then connect to property managers, lenders, and other specialists.

Love the listing and the cabinets — how fun but I would suggest as well you eventually modernize and paint and create a more cohesive look.

The reason I tend to like these is they are less desirable so you can get a deal AND the neighborhood tends to be less cohesive so less likely to get neighbors in your business. 

A cohesive collection of furnishings. 

I'd redone one and it still didn't feel cohesive. 

A medium-toned wood finish can balance the light walls and cabinets beautifully, creating a cohesive and modern look.Remember to consider the overall style and feel you want for the space, and choose colors and materials that reflect that vision.

Screening: Be "super picky" about the tenants you select to ensure they are financially qualified and can live together cohesively.

It brings online rent payments, e‑sign leases, document storage, accounting, maintenance tracking, and reporting into one cohesive platform.I’m here not to advertise, but to learn from this community and share real‑world experiences.

Unique Design: Properties with a distinct character—like A-frame cabins, modern farmhouses, or homes with a cohesive, memorable theme—are outperforming the competition.

Honestly, if your hallway is already grey with white trim, you can totally go with white walls inside the unit and still keep it looking clean and cohesive.
