Thanks for the tips Eric, super insightful and will definitely implement.

Have you thought about taking a look at Columbus which is super close to those cities?

Make sure you understand agency.The math questions were super easy. 

Super similar to my first deal!

I'm in Livonia / Canton area and I haven't attended any Washtenaw County or Ann Arbor REIA events but I do attend the Oakland County REAI meeting in Troy as well as the Michigan REIA meetings in Troy and they are super helpful and if you sign up to get their emails you can check the topics in advance to make sure it's worth the trip for that meeting.They usually have really good speakers. 

So much so that it's been now dubbed the super peso and it's causing headaches to Mexican developers who sell in US dollars and have their costs in pesos.The reality is that you actually don't necessarily need to spend a ton of time understanding international real estate to invest internationally, although doing so would definitely increase your success, of course.

That’s super helpful.my back up plans to that idea were to either.A. 1031 it into a new build with far less maintenance costs for another 3-5 years before recycling that same concept. 

This AC unit was super easy to set up and install, and is also wifi-enabled so you can see exactly how much power you/your tenants are using via the GE app, as well as giving you alerts when the filters need to be cleaned (pull-out reusable filters are very convenient and easy to maintain). 

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..

Think Superbowl parties, World Series, Final 4, Etc...
