If you're looking to BRRRR/flip, I do recommend looking into hard money loans.

So, with a mix of retail and residential, I'd recommend something in the middle is a good starting point.

I highly recommend them.  

I would recommend taking a look into Columbus Ohio as you can still find positive cash flow and very strong appreciation here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I would highly recommend looking into syndications!

I also recommend that you attend some local real estate investment meetup groups.

I’d love to connect with local real estate agents, lenders, and contractors who can help me navigate this journey.I’m continuing to educate myself on finding, analyzing, and financing deals, and I’m excited to hear any advice or recommendations the community has to offer.Thank you for reading, and I look forward to connecting with many of you!

If you do, I recommend you hire a real estate agent to help you lease up the units.

If so (and even if not), I would love any recommendations to a loan officer in the metro Detroit area.Thank you in advance,Aaron RaffaelliAaron,Yes, it should be entirely possible!
