Renovating Duplexes into Single Family Residences

[Luke09]

Interesting find.

Square footage seems to be the number one ingredient that the renovate and flip crowd is targeting along with location in Detroit. I have noticed that they are venturing a little farther out than they where last year.

The big question would be if builders are now moving into renovating duplexes into single family homes to achieve the house size the market is looking for, how long will it be until the same builders/developers start approaching the city for vacant lots that they own in hotter neighborhoods for new construction houses [[spec or custom) that would qualify as infil in the neighborhoods?

That house sold for over 300k, and there are now 4 other homes on that block getting renovated
