Is it true that you have to attend the auctions in-person and cannot buy online from another state?

@Mark Forest It's true that Detroit is not great for buy and hold appreciation.

At the end of the day, it's still technically a Single Family Home with an extra unit to help offset expenses, but not a "true" investment property or legal duplex.Does anyone have any ideas on creative ways to finance building this (besides Refi or HELOC)?

This is often misunderstood and not a true statement.Quickbooks has many different versions of Quickbooks Desktop of which some have been discontinued.

These type of properties are typically much easier to find financing from a commercial small business lender rather than a true real estate lender - I would point your search in that direction

But I’m really trying to figure out what’s actually true and what’s fantasy.

In my experience, lead platforms that seem too good to be true rarely deliver.

After giving Alan Kirkham 5 months to right this wrong and come up with a fair resolution, we have been left in the dark with no set plans or expectations and no true point of contact, which is why we have decided to share our experience here.This whole experience was a huge disappointment, waste of money and time!

I guess one thing is true you become self employed so you get to pay SEI tax and your own insurance .. 

You can't be a true investor unless you truly know how to analyze a deal.5.
