Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

Some wholesalers over charge and don't understand the market and arv or BRRR.

I also completely understand the frustration of navigating through "Joker brokers" and fake lenders who promise more than they can deliver—one of the biggest challenges in the industry today.Regarding your approach to accrual-based repayment options, that’s a huge help for flippers managing tight cash flow, and it's great that you offer that flexibility.

A good landlord understands that vacancies & Rent-Ready costs will destroy your cashflow and profits.

You won't even try to understand it.   

I certainly can see how this all happened though Guru's charging folks how to be a synidcator so lots of beginners.. then of course competing offerings and knowing how investor gravitate to the highest returns without really understanding the risks etc.

I’m in Ohio and I understand this fully.

I do understand that not partnering pushes back your timeline substantially...I'm in the slow and steady wins the race and stay small, own it all camp, though. 

@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

In that case, you’d typically need to file a legal challenge, which could involve going to court and showing that the restriction is unnecessary or unreasonable.The best advice I can give would be to consult a real estate attorney to understand your specific situation and options.
