Of course, Down payment assistance is available and the you can negotiate closing costs in certain circumstances but your chances of doing both are only reasonable if the property/seller are in a tough spot and the property isn't popular on the market.

Hey Edward, Neighborhoods like Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway, University Circle, and Lakewood offer cool spots for potential Airbnb homes under $150K.

Interesting spot you are in.

I would build as large of a pile of cash as you can and wait until there is blood in the water.

I’m not in your field of expertise in the lending space, but the lenders I have given repeat business to typically have taken a few moments and let me explain my situation to see if we would even be a fit for each other, before, trying to make me fill out some long application that asked for everything short of a blood sample.

B neighborhoods present a sweet spot for investors, balancing potentially stronger rental yields with manageable property values.

You have to really know the right spots to pick.
