The contract is does not mention how many days will be for closing and time for inspection since both spaces that are supposed to specify the time are left blank. The contract also does not specify on whether I or the seller contact an inspector for property inspection. The property is also in Detroit, MI.

I submitted a cash offer on a property and got my offer accepted. Both the seller and I signed the purchase agreement about a week ago. Since then, I haven't heard anything back from the agent. Both the seller and I are using the same agent. Should I be concerned? This is my first property that I'm purchasing and also signed for a property inspection. It is a $5000 property that will obviously need work. Will the agent contact me if I need to send payment? Thanks for any reasonable advice/ comments in advance.

I'm considering doing an FHA house hack in the Inland Empire with multifamily due to the affordability compared to OC. I'm wondering if it is possible to cash flow positive with an FHA on multifamily in the area.

I am trying to figure out how to buy tax deed properties in Birmingham. Do I have to physically be at the courthouse? Is there a website I can go to? I am buying out of California. I have also seen some tax deeds for sale on the marketplace on here but want to avoid getting scammed. Is there any way if I were to buy a tax deed off of BiggerPockets to my due diligence? What advice is needed when buying tax deeds out of state? Thanks!

I live in Orange County in California and am looking to invest in Dallas due to the affordable cost of real estate, the landlord friendly laws, my family that knows of a good property manager there, and it is a buyer's market. I would to ask if any has any recommendations of a good real estate agent to work with. I'm looking for a property mostly in the Wolf Creek and Fruitdale area since I am looking for a property at $200k tops.

I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to find a BRRRR property as an investment. I realize that there is the marketplace on here but unfortunately by the time I find a BRRRR listing, it has already been sold. I also know that there are other investors that are able to find properties without using the marketplace on here. I'm guessing spending hours on Zillow looking for the right one or having the right connections? My markets that I am looking for are in Phoenix and the Inland Empire in southern California.

I'm a new investor that is trying to get started with residential properties and Riverside, CA is one of the cities I'm thinking about buying a property in. I visited Riverside a week ago and looked at the neighborhoods. I'm considering Riverside for the following reasons:

1. I've read from different websites that job growth in the area is expected to outpace Silicon Valley 
2. It is close to where I live (I live in OC)
3. I have heard from a few people I know that there are people moving there due to the high cost of living in OC and LA 

However, I'm a little unsure if investing there would be the right choice because I do not know how likely it would be getting a good tenant fast and I have also read that evictions can be a giant headache in CA. I realize that there are other cities in the country that are better to invest in such as Orlando, FL and Charlotte, NC but unfortunately I am unable to invest in areas that far (not yet at least). I am also looking into Phoenix, AZ for investment properties too. I'm not looking for the best rental markets but markets that work favorably (but of course if I end up in one of the best markets that is a plus). Does anyone have much experience with renting and investing in that area? Also, what research can I do for myself to help me be a better investor? I try to research job growth and population growth for cities. I also look on sites such as Forbes and Business Insider about the best markets however, I would prefer to be more self sufficient than relying on blog posts from entrepreneur sites. I also listen to the Bigger Pockets podcasts when I can.
