I knew that most charities spend the biggest part of the donations on overhead and marketing and salaries of the top admin person/personal.

I've spent a lot of time looking at what resources are out there any honestly, my favorite is Pricelabs.  

The Bissell products are at the top of my favorites. 

If there are any books, podcasts, or other resources that you’ve found invaluable, I’d love to hear your recommendations.And finally, if you could go back to when you were buying your first property, what’s the one piece of advice you wish someone had given you?

However, you’ll need to handle all the paperwork, figure out which forms to file, and stay on top of compliance requirements like annual reports.

It's a huge win, and I admit, at the top end in terms of outcomes.Most deals are leaving $5,000 - $15,000 post-refinance but still nicely cash flowing.In short, yes, there's a lot of opportunity in Detroit but you really need to understand the market or work with folks that do.I'd be happy to chat with you or anyone else looking at the market there.

Some of these will have buyer premiums over the top of your sales price and almost all will have limited inspections.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.
