I am interested in utilizing space again for group meetings, workshops, and for clients who may still desire private space.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Have a meeting coming up and hopefully they will have better news. 

I am completely new to the investing side and would love to find something to meet new people/learn as well as learn more about the city. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.

You need 6" clear from ground to bottom plate, and ground must slope away from house...5) Any place that water can enter the house (doors and windows, skylights, where roof meets eaves, etc...) should be checked thoroughly, if it's not raining on inspection day, you have to be really careful with this...any suspect areas, put a hose on them....

I'd start with attending local investor meet ups.
