The guy says they are flying planes over the whole state all the time taking photos .

I travel fly into a ton of cities every other week and picked up a tip from an Anthony Chara workshop awhile back.

I am currently living in Eastpointe, MI and I am currently looking for any advice on getting started. I would like to buy and fix up being that I am very handy. I would also like to use the single family homes as rent...

Check your roofs to make sure they are in good shape, the first picture you showed is the gable end of the house with 2x4 fly rafters holding your fascia, the plywood you see is the sheathing for the roof. the paint peeling and mildew would not be caused by something inside the house, but something to do with the temperature and the roof, make sure your roof is ventilated, it appears there are no vents for this roof, 2nd picture shows your soffit with the roof rafters and next to the house is closed up. drill a hole in between each rafter the size of a round vent ( 2 - 3" ) and install round metal vents. at the ridge of the roof, remove the ridge cap, install a ridge vent and recap.

I will typically fly east to check out the land before the sale closes (term/condition in contract).
