The marketing/advertising firm, aka RE broker, is not the expert in building codes, zoning, structural engineering, neighborhood safety, etc.As a prudent investor, always do your own due diligence or you'll end up being (unitentionally) misguided by a RE broker's information.  

Quote from @Stevan Stojakovic: Good resource to get started is The Banker's Code by George Antone.

Those same 40K homes have now tripled and quadrupled in value since i first started now being valued at 160K+. 46218 was one of the last affordable zip codes in marion county.

Also had a random thought how it’s interesting that these laws are getting passed by the state and they seem to magically get altered in the subsequent years in very significant ways.

I have spoke with Ball point marketing on getting an off market list of multi family properties in 20+ zip codes in maryland but they came back with only one property in my criteria?

This is for serious people who read this.Since law is is difficult for some people, let me be more clearThere are various codes that can be violated when buying properties (the definitions are easy to find with a quick search) Equity skimming Equity strippingForeclosure Rescue Mortgage Fraud Short Selling False Statements Wire Fraud Bank Fraud and so onhere's a sample12 U.S.

They see a renewal of the current business tax rates, regulation and permitting rules getting slashed, tax code being simplified, and federal deficits on a one-way ticket down the elevator (which are a longterm drag on economic productivity).Just look at the growth in tax code complexity over the last 20 years.

I have an agent that's recommending a new construction in that zip code.

This question is most likely best for a lawyer familiar with local regulations and code.

Some zip codes in Detroit are better than others but everything is appreciating especially closer to our downtown area.
