Advice for beginner investor on valuation of expenses

[Michael Orr]

I am looking to be a first-time home owner and investor this summer in metro Detroit. I would love to house hack using an FHA loan for my first property but multi-family homes in the suburban areas are limited. I am now looking into hold and sell with a SFR. How do I valuate what the expenses are before purchasing the home? Obviously I could speak with the current owner but what if it is a foreclosure? Does the bank have that information?

Thanks!
