@Saul Clavijo make sure you understand you will be getting into Class C properties at those numbers.Food for though below, DM us to chat more about Detroit:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

They are inexpensive, they usually come with mineral rights (big plus in Texas), they typically have short redemption periods, low rehab costs, and sell quickly at the right price; they also have large ROI.
