If you self manage short-term rentals it's well within reach. 

Hi @Javade Jones,That’s a great strategy!

I found the son on Facebook and sent a quick intro giving my condolences, expressed my interest in purchasing the property, and provided my phone # in case he decides to follow up.I'm in the process of preapproval with a couple lenders, and have reached out to a couple realtors in my area to see which may be a good fit.

If you’re serious about Detroit, feel free to reach out.

Whether you need advice on selling your property or exploring other investment strategies, feel free to reach out!

Feel free to reach out - I'd be more than willing to chat.

Sounds like you’re in a strong financial position, and it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into your strategy. 

Seems like a low risk strategy for you to start taking action on your dreams, which is the crucial ingredient towards reaching FI. 

Our strategy is to buy out of shape properties and rehab them back into shape, so a GC with experience in doing extensive renovations at once would be preferred.

Thanks for reaching out…I was thinking there’d be a lot more investors on BP in the event venue market, but you’re the first one I’ve connected with.
