Whether you’re looking at SFHs, duplexes, or other properties, it’s important to pair on-paper data with boots-on-the-ground knowledge to really get a sense of values.If you’re considering anything serious in Detroit, I’d recommend connecting with someone who knows the market inside and out.

I would recommend checking out Northwest Florida (Crestview, Niceville, Destin).

I recommend reaching out to BP support for assistance.Additionally, it might be a good idea to connect with investor-friendly agents during your search.
