We have been successful here in the past here with 7 days cash and no contingencies (and a good reputation of closing).https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/695-Earlham-St-Pasadena-C...

I read somewhere that it may be a good idea to buy large multifamily in a decent area (just don't really know what market is decent for this) or buy turnkey properties (I know of a couple reputable sellers that I can invest with).

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

I have a good HVAC/plumber and an electrician (that I rarely have to use), in addition to a good carpet cleaner. 

I’ve heard of this being done in places like the Deep South but you have to build a reliable team because obviously you need a contractor, plumber, electrician, property manager and a realtor.

I do know one of the hospitals around has a terrible reputation, so that’s not helpful!

Each deal you close builds your reputation and expertise.I've found that showing progress attracts investment.

Hello,Can you please recommend a reputable residential closing attorney in the Boca Raton area?

I would highly consider using a reputable company and opt for a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan for a rental property for several reasons.

Online reviews can be a good place to start to get a general feel for a lenders reputation and consistency.
