@Aaron Raffaelli we call all the cities that touch Detroit, the Ring Cities - except the Grosse Pts.These cities are mostly Class B and are solid rentals.Detroit overall has gentrified to Class C, but at least a third of the city is Class D still.Check out the interactive map on our website and watch for whats coming...

Are there any city or lender required repairs that will require an immediate injection of capital?

My property is in Baltimore city.

I spoke to a Loan Office with AgSouth and he told me a minimum of 25% down would be needed, but it has to be in what they consider a rural area which is not in the "City of Atlanta". 

I get that there are delays and behind the scenes, dealing with late suppliers, the city authorities being difficult, but I thought for sure I would be further along than this. 

Then there is city approval and whether they want a 2 to be a 4 (seems like the nearby properties might support it).

I have had some good luck with NBKC (Kansas City bank).

My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for over a decade.

Lead water lines have been a big topic here and I imagine in every older city in the midwest and east coast.

I’ve even seen a friend in Austin organize a simple field trip to another city..from what I’ve heard that kind of trip can spark interest in fresh markets.
