Use your superior knowledge, experience and analytical ability to spot something in a property being offered for sale that everyone else has missed.  

Did you attend educational courses to enhance your real estate knowledge?

I have been doing a lot of research but still have a lot of questions I would like to run by someone that has some knowledge about commercial/multi-family real estate. 

Detroit is very much a block-by-block city, so having local knowledge is absolutely critical.

I'm a foreign national living in Ghana, and I have some knowledge about Real Estate, though I have little experience.I would love to have a partner who could go in with me, to put up any cash that might be needed. 

I am excited about gaining more knowledge and deals! 

Ultimately, it's all about the right balance—staging should always be tailored to the home and the market it’s in, which is where working with a knowledgeable agent really makes a difference.Would love to hear your thoughts as well!

Also, for those whose BUSINESS (as opposed to just investment) is STR, they can scale successfully while their experience and knowledge of the industry may allow them the opportunity to uncover and recognize those few opportunities that will provide a much higher than market risk adjusted ROI. 

@Steven DiazFor anything construction related, I am not very knowledgeable, but there is a real estate group called The Mills Group in town that works a lot with investors and they themselves do a lot of flips so maybe they would be a good starting point.For STR I would do the two units separately.

Have some initial conversations to see who’s responsive, knowledgeable, and investor-friendly.Once you find a good fit, you can focus on building a strong relationship with that one realtor.
