Duplexes cash flow better, have less risk, AND EASIER TO MANAGE compared to a SFH.  

There are not traditional DSCR lenders that would do that.

We’ve tried other platforms on the market, but the message delivery rates were very low compared to the 85%+ I get here.

The rent-to-price ratios are strong, property values remain relatively affordable compared to many other cities, and the city has been seeing real economic and population growth.I invest in Detroit myself and have built a portfolio of 12 doors there.

Platforms like Zillow or Redfin can give you insight into comparable properties, and PropStream is great for deeper analysis like liens or ownership history. 

However if you understand the process already and what you're trying to achieve and just looking for someone to do it for you, then I would search a bit more to price compare and then make your informed decision.

It’s important to ensure you’re comfortable with these risks and consult a financial advisor.If you choose to use a HELOC, consider traditional financing or private loans as alternatives if you prefer not to risk your home.As for your first rental, markets in the Midwest and Southeast offer great opportunities with turnkey properties that are tenant-ready and appreciating.

The good news is you don't need a specialty loan for a house hack, just a traditional primary home loan.

Hey @Brandon Toron,Given your plan to turn the property into a short-term rental (STR), you have a few creative ways to push closer to that 90% cash-out goal, even if traditional lenders shy away from it:1. 

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”
