If multifamily properties in your area are priced well, it might be worth moving forward sooner rather than later.Risk Tolerance: Since you’re the sole provider, it’s crucial to ensure you have a solid emergency fund to cover unforeseen expenses, especially during vacancies or repairs.Long-Term Goals: Think about how this investment fits into your long-term financial goals.

There is a case for buying well-located solid assets that produce immediate current cash flow at reasonable leverage. 

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

There is an exemption for a “crowdfunding” type of retail offering, with limits on how much of their net assets an investor can contribute.  

Get people financially educated and let them buy their own houses.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

If you can get financial support to get a duplex/triplex, I would recommend this.

@Serge Hounkponou Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want 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?

@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?
