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

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

Quote from @Adrian Clapp: I highly recommend you read "Am I being too subtle?"

I recommend that you look at Notice of Defaults, Vacants, Tax Liens or Probate. 

I honestly don't have any real feedback on them yet so hesitant to "recommend" them. 

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!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.

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!

I highly recommend them.  

I would highly recommend looking into syndications!
