Only experience is renting out my first home in Springfield, VA when I was in the Navy.

I'm looking to connect and network with other investors, contractors etc who have experience in this market. 

Experience?) 

If you’re able to dive deep or work with someone who has boots-on-the-ground experience, the returns can be very rewarding.Good luck with your journey, and feel free to reach out if you’d like more insights or resources on Detroit!

Those with little to no experience should have even larger amounts of reserves in place before they purchase real estate. 

I was just hoping there was someone that had personal experience with them.

That's been an interesting experience!

I can say my personal experience has been pretty mediocre.

In my experience, cost segregation studies are a lot less than $10-15k especially for smaller properties (6 units and below).

Quote from @John Underwood: Gas heat would require constant tank refilling and it would be very bad to run out in the winter.In my experience, if you have  325 or 500 g tank, you can top off in the fall and be good until spring.....Unless I guess you have a big house and are keeping it at 80d....
