I am serious about doing some investing, and hope to find a solution I can trust. 

How long can you sustain this before it severely impacts your finances?

Will check out Evaluator by PropertyTracker.com and keep the thread updated if I find a solution worth sharing!

Pros: - Low upfront cost- Very high profitability (we average 23k per deal of profit) and the ROI is AMAZING- Sustainability - so many land owners out there don't want their landCons- Can take 4-6 months or so to see results- Marketing is expensive, we send mail to acquire properties.

My concern is the investment in Detroit would need to create high paying jobs in the city and those earners to live in the city for change to come at a granular level and be sustained.

Bankruptcy is a good solution when you have massive debts, but if it's just the properties that are behind, a short sale is generally a better solution, especially if you can settle the debt through the short sale (which is the result 99% of the time). 

A negotiated solution is best for everyone.

Immigration is good, but it is not sustainable at that level. 

So I guess the PM would need to go out there and coordinate that at $100/hour + MERV13 filters while everyone in the chain taking a cut.Anyone do this in their apartment or have a better solution or is this simply it?

But it won't be sustainable, we'll be talking about Austin occupancy like SF in 2035 but without SF's rules and when you invest you invest on that kind of time horizon.
