I would like to get your feedback and ask a few questions about my first two deals..in metro Detroit.

Deal #1
2/2.5 townhouse with 1550'
1 car garage
Built in 2005
Sold new $140,000
Paid $50,000 cash
HOA $130
Painted...

There are holes in the sheetrock and ceiling, some doors have been broken, the AC condensor, blower motor, and breaker box all stripped bare so obviously I don't want to jump in with a significant balance outstanding on the house.What I have been able to determine: the previous owner had been there 15 years and I'm guessing I will owe most or all of the 2011 taxes (about $2.5 K)My rehab estimates are around $12K, taxable value is at 70K (with homestead exepmtion), recent flips (same nighborhood) have sold for 80-90K.

They should be extra motors on your boat! 

My ideal first investment would be a motor family home if anyone has any advice I would be more than happy to hear its.

It will have a Motor home garage.3.

I would not do special motorized zone damper in a rental. 

If you are wrong and things motor along as they have been - you have a way to access off-market properties before they hit foreclosureWin-win

I've had one estimate so far and the guy said that he "exhaust motor" needs to be replaced.

Hmmm, I'm thinking the motor city could become the BiggerPockets City!  

That's relevant because the city that was the "arsenal of democracy" became "motor city," it has now  become in no small part "mortgage city" (there are people who's families have literally done that transition, across a few generations, from grandpa building the bombers to dad building the cars to kid putting together the mortgages).
