Hey Derrick, I have a lot of experience in Detroit.

So ReSimpli wins out in this category.I know I mentioned good support but also they have really good onboarding as well.

This house-hack will be a negative cash flow while I live in it, fix it up, etc. 

I am a bit surprised that there are not more options? 

I have been struggling finding fair priced reliable contractors in my area.

An old business associate once told me "There are two people in this world you make sure you pay...the IRS and your attorney."

Start connecting with local investors or attend meetups. it’s one of the best ways to learn and get insight.

I would say get to no many neighborhoods.Also not much in 200K range any more.$300K is the new $200K. 

If you do this, make sure you have clear intentions and written terms each party agrees to.  

This gets them thinking about your eventual move and the stress they might face in finding a new tenant.After some time has passed, you could share that you’ve started looking at other homes, but the options in your price range don’t compare to the property you’re living in.
