Looking to construct a duplex at a reasonable cost but also quality for long term durability.Thank you!

This is the reason homes are so much cheaper than cost to build.

I didn't negotiate a ton on price as the deal seemed pretty reasonable.

Also, newer wholesalers only see about half of their contracts get dispo'd and closed (sometimes less) because of the reason just mentioned or a lack of Buyers to dispo to. 

For similar reasons you mentioned with access to both I70 and I90 pretty easily as well as being in range for the eastern sea board makes it a logistics hub.  

There’s no real reason to jump into another market unless your goals shift and your current market doesn’t fit anymore—or if the market itself stops producing the results you need.Mastering one market and squeezing every opportunity out of it is a much better play than spreading yourself too thin and getting half-baked results in multiple places.

Over the last 10-12 years, the city’s been on a steady climb, and for good reason.

We’re fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

It is one of the reasons I like a Wrap Note and Mortgage (or Deed of Trust). 

That way you'd get local contacts and there's no reason for anyone to hoard their insurance agent so they should be forthcoming.
