My clients have had much success with Wells Fargo, NLC Loans & Chemical Bank.

-First time home buyer -Chemical Engineer 180k/year-Great credit, income, rental historyI’m looking for a realtor and/or partner that would be able to share some options and/or recommendations in this area, much help is appreciated!

Just curious as I have no experience with them at all and it hasn't scared me away yet from a 3 unit property that I just put an offer on.My main takeaways:Need strict rules in lease about what can be used for toilet paper, laundry frequency, waste/chemicals going into the sink.300-800 maintenance every couple years for pumping/inspectionExpect five-figure costs if you have major repairs or replacement.Anything else I should be looking out for?

Traditional banks (like Huntington, Chemical bank, Wells fargo, Chase etc) and many smaller Credit Unions are also quite competitive.That is if you have a good credit score and have a SSN (as a US citizen/resident).For international investors who invest in Detroit there are a few options available.Property value should be a minimum 50K (appraised).If within 6 months of Purchase, then Purchase price will be the appraised value.Minimum Loan amount 200K (can be negotiated if it is within 15-20% variance max)Loan to Value ratio at 65 - 70%Interest Rates from 6.35% (higher the LTV higher the rate)Terms - 30 year (5 year amortisation)Required DSCR - 1.10 - 1.20I have been able to secure this lending for our Int'l Investors

How about actual Hazardous Materials, such as asbestos containing materials or chemicals?

Check with local air quality testing companies, or biohazard/chemical clean up specialists that could steer you in the right direction.

We have one through Chemical bank, but it has other mortgage on it.
