Hey here is the maphttps://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?

My "day job" is in digital marketing (corporate, not "influencer"), so that tends to be my sandbox ;-) Thanks John!

EDIT: Asking because I would've thought the exact opposite. 

Many of these were lost in tax sales, and the ones that they got re-performing underwrote loan mods at low single digit interest rates during ZIRP and could not resell them at a profit once interest rates were hiked.

If you do it right, it’s arguably the best market to invest.Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: .9%-1.4% rule dealsCoc ROI: 5-12%Total ROI: 20-40%Cash flow: $50-$250/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B-These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

I think you can model a decent double digit return but how do you transition to actually pulling money out? 

They are not cheap by any means (expect double digit interest rates) but they are available. 

@Jesse Scroggins  Is it me or are you off a digit? 

Best tip is to add digital locks to each bedroom door and make sure there is enough kitchen space for all parties.

My CPA also has an investment we got in with double digits returns that we rolled our IRAs into but you could probably put cash into if you would want to live off of it before retirement age.I would never recommend someone stay in a job they hated just for the money.
