Everybody who invests in Southeast Mexico, including myself, knows that the typical property doesn't offer ROI upwards of 10%-15% but way less.

Quote from @Scott Trench: @Scott Johnson we typically don't delete forum posts, and I don't see a reason to make an exception here. 

Most out-of-state investors looking at Detroit are typically focused on cash flow, which means they're usually targeting C or C+ neighborhoods.

Lock-out, should they continue to not come even, would be typically less than 14-days.Unless the tenant comes even with the rent (which would result in dismissal of the non-payment of the case), there is generally limited defense to this process.

Typically lenders do not allow this but if they do you would ahve to go through a full underwriting to confirm you qualify to make the payments.

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

Unless the property needs work and the seller is desperate, you're not going to find a seller willing to do any sort of seller financing on their end. 

You most likely won't need to rezone, or get a variance of any sort, unless your lot is shaped strangely.

Its also the right sort of thing to do to try and help someone navigate a difficult time. 

The first year is typically good for most properties, although I've had some rough starts.
