Despite its awful reputation, I see great potential due to its proximity to key attractions.I'm reaching out to ask: Are there any plans to revitalize this neighborhood?

But because Detroit has bad reputation in the media, I believe many investors would avoid it and I may have lesser competition, in comparison with Cleveland. 

DM me if you would like any recommendations for reputable turnkey companies.

Ask your rehabber where he gets materials, try to find some lumber yards and suppliers, not lowes of HD as they have credit departments.Set up a line of credit with suppliers and by the paper at the time of sale.

Many reputable general contractors have experience with city/township inspections and final inspections before you can sell your home; they can provide value based on experience with trades inspectors and providing more accurate estimates for project costs based on current market value of work per trade. 

But if you plan to travel back and forth, just make sure you that the people you have working on your property are highly reputable and trustworthy.

That covers the wholesaling process, besides sales skills, the successful wholesalers in town always value their reputation and relationship over anything else.

This will be essential for managing remotely.Property Management: If you are unable to handle the property in person, think about working with a reputable property management firm.Decision: The decision you make is based on your degree of comfort, your ability to take on risk, and your readiness to put in the time necessary to develop a network.

I aim to establish connections that can support my business needs effectively.Could anyone share their experiences or recommend strategies for connecting with reputable wholesalers in these areas?

Honestly, I would take the loss, talk to others in the area and hire a reputable PM to help you get out of this mess.
