House is well equipped with everything you need.

This strategy has worked well for me personally. 

The properties are simple but well kept, and I am seeing rents around $650-$850 range for a 1/1 around the area. 

I have been using a deal analyzer spreadsheet that I found some time ago and that has served me well for analyzing "normal" deals with a downpayment and lender financing. 

I imagine it’s a relatively short drive from Southwestern Ontario, and it offers some unique opportunities that align well with what you’re looking for.Detroit has seen tremendous progress over the last decade, with significant investment and revitalization in many areas.

Quote from @William Fuller: Land wholesaler here looking to connect with builders and developers in Atlanta, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and possibly other states as well. 

Around $250 per property.I'll send you the name of insurance carrier.Hi Jason, could you share you insurer with me as well?

I believe the land where many of these brick and mortar locations exist may ultimately be the prize because they are often well situated. 

Feel free to reach out with any questions about repairs, construction, mechanics, etc, as I am well versed in those fields.

Unless you are unknowledgable, my bet is you could make more from rent than sale, and still have the benefits of owning the original home while you go do something else.The 25K you have left in property will be netting you(gross) of $350 mo or 4200 per year.
