Hoping I can get some comments and opinions on a home I’m looking at in the upper Midwest.
It’s located in mid-Michigan, in a medium sized middle class city. A large Fortune 500 is based there with many white collar positions, along with some automotive/manufacturing blue collar positions.
The home: 3 bedroom/1 bath/1000 sq ft on a quarter acre lot, central air/heat, built in 1950’s. Needs nothing but carpet and a bathroom update.
The plan: purchase, complete upgrades in the first two months. Move into the home as my primary residence until a time where my employment requires in office daily reporting, in which I will need to move closer to work (unknown timeframe, my guess 2 years to never).
Financials: Sale price for the home, $119K. Estimated cost for carpet/bathroom $10K. Annual taxes: $1500
Rental income: Similar homes offered between $1000-$1200/month in the area.
My experience in renting out a home is zero, am I crazy for considering this idea? The math seems like it’s a no brainer, but maybe there’s something I’m overlooking?
