Any insights on financing, managing renovations, or rental demand in Detroit would be greatly appreciated! 

If you are investing out of state, then do you already have a good property manager lined up? 

Duplexes cash flow better, have less risk, AND EASIER TO MANAGE compared to a SFH.  

The more deals you’re part of, the more you learn about:✅ Structuring deals✅ Managing risk✅ Negotiating with partners✅ Handling financingTaking part of a good deal helps you build real-world experience that will pay off big in the future when you do bigger and better deals.3.

It’s definitely worth exploring if you’re looking for a robust management tool.

I stared using this site PropJump.com to find services providers for my 3 properties I own and manage. 

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

I have five houses in Memphis area, and the biggest problem has been finding a good property management company. 

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.
