It's not normal to do it prior to an accepted offer.

Basically, what these guys did to some of our Real Wealth Network members allegedly is:- GEG showed RWN some of the properties they had renovated and leased out to prove their business model- They told our members via a webinar that they buy, renovate and sell rental properties below market value to investors with 8% cash flow- They said they offer non-recourse financing at 50% LTVIn reality, GEG sold properties that were not always renovated - even if the price point reflected a renovation.

It could also be worth it to test the market and see what kind of offers you receive. 

I've done Crypto, stocks, businesses, ecommerce, trading bots, ponzi schemes etc. 

They were asking 450k for it and we offered 420k.

We were being transferred to that area and went up to look at a couple different homes in the area and that one came up that day, and we made a full asking offer immediately.

I have an accepted offer on a luxury cabin in the sierras.  

Jonathan Having worked most of those markets (Detroit included), I'd say most all of them will offer investors a very similar return.

3) What amenities are they offering?

Start with a standard offer, and write a contingency into it for electricity, all the below ground utilities, and then work your way to zoning, permitting etc.
