[Kwame Searcy]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kwame Searcy I am a new real estate investor and new to biggerpockets. I am originally from Ypsilanti, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan with a BSE in civil engineering. Work has eventually moved me out to Northern Virginia. I have an excellent opportunity to buy my first investment property (hopefully in the next couple of months) and already have my first tenant committed in Detroit, MI (no Detroit bashing please). I have aspirations to buy and hold properties in Detroit (where we plan on moving back to in a couple years). Any advice on setting up rental contracts, typical expenses for Detroit, or advice in general would be greatly appreciated.
