I don't think I'll have the time to find something used since I'm doing most of this remotely. 

There’s not really a lot of value add opportunity or sales comps in this space for our area.I typically (BRRRR) purchase fixer uppers with cash, fix up, rent, then refinance on a DSCR and get all of my money back.

we are seeing more and more of this.

What steps do I need to take to make sure I can get this going as smoothly as possible especially when it comes to resale in the future?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This event was put together to get local investors together to talk strategy, share resources and help each other get/make deals!

Hopefully, this brings Detroit more positive attention!

There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and I hope you enjoy it.

Although there is no way to prove this, (I reside in FL; the investment property is in AL) my GC tells me the unit was secured by a cage and bolted down.  

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!
