In Detroit Area, I consider East English Village, Bagley, Detroit University, to buy first house turn key around 150-200k, than after I gain some experience(~6 month) with just renting, go to the next level of complexity and do BRRRR there with people who I can trust after first deal. 

I'm 6'3'' and live in an English basement in DC with 7 foot ceilings (maybe 6'11'' ceilings where there's one inch carpet) and it's fine. 

I'm looking in the East English area, since I use to live in the area.

While clear communication is important, I wouldn't summarily discount contractors whose first language isn't English. 

We have mostly Hispanics that do not speak great English, meaning they came over here in recent years.  

If some contractors don’t speak English use google translator.

I can help with cold calling.Cost per lead is usually going to be in the $20-$50 dollar range (assuming a VA cold caller with native English) and a cost of about $0.20 per record for them to call potential motivated sellers (high equity, certain age, etc).CAC is going to depend on your conversion skills, but within 3-6 months can be $1500 to $5K depending on how many leads it takes you to close them.

Sadly, licensing among agents here is not as widespread as it should be.For those who prefer browsing in English, Mexican websites like Trovit, Vivanuncios, and Inmuebles24 might pose a language barrier.

I've used a VA in the Philippines through Upwork.Pros of Philippine VA+English is usually great+Super friendly personalities+hard working and dedicatedI would be cautious about upwork.

Reasons being: they have Native English since most grew up in the US, they have a better sales/hustle culture, there is a huge call center industry there you can recruit from.
