Detroit provides the opportunity to buy low, collect solid income as you watch your investment grow in value every day. 

But if you are looking for 1-4 units residential purchased by an individual then PS is a great place to find a list, skipt trace then cold call or text. 

You have a far better chance trying to sell to an individual than targeting hedge funds.

I know many landlords set a credit score threshold around 580-600 for Section 8 tenants since the program provides a rental guarantee.

But I understand where I’m at now, and am willing to work for free until I can provide such value.A little about me.

I am a highly motivated individual, however, and I'm dedicated to getting into real estate investing.  

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front. 

Once completed, the property was resold to new homeowners, providing a solid return on investment.

I'm currently building up capital for future ventures and properties that I find on market, as well as attempting to find the best brokerage where I can work under an individual who is already more established.
