Hopefully the permitting people are nice and will offer some guidance.  

If you dont need the leases it can be nice because as soon as you get near completion on your rehabbing you can get your disclosures out, esigned, start your appraisal asap, and get the process moving quickly versus waiting around for tenants, lease ups, and all units to be rented.Best of Luck ~

If they are nice enough for AirBnB, then you are probably ok there as well since the stays will be short. 

You are interested in a certain market to use the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) method to purchase property.To find these properties, you asked how many Realtors you would contact in that area.Honestly, most Realtors do not speak investor language and are not investors themselves.

Please stop asking us for "the best" zip codes to invest in.Detroit has around 183 Residential Neighborhoods - wouldn't it be nice if "some proprety mangagement company" Classified them all as A, B, C, or D on an interactive map that real estate investors could use to make better decisions?

You definitely want to use a thorough screening method like rentprep.com that gets their income, credit, background check, and call at least 3 references (make sure to verify them by address/job and then their name).  

Now for some nice winter shots then schedule for summer so you can add them as well.

Greater Grand Crossing has some nice pockets.

(aka the BRRR method).But, if you stay on the sidelines, acting fearful and not greedy, you will reap the benefits of neither.Again I do think we see an early pullback in 2025, in the first 100 days.

It's nice to have you in the BP community!
