With the grace and mercy of GOD I will own my 1st Real Estate Investment property before the end of this year this will be 1 of many as I plan on retiring early so that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor and help others where needed 

I feel pretty sure that the single home only is county so I would check that.You need to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. 

Wishing you a safe and fruitful remainder of the year.

However, these properties won't be low hanging fruit.

If there is nothing to be done I focus on lead generation for the marketing firm which has been very fruitful.

Also, check the electrical panel and amt of juice per unit. 

That juice may not be worth the squeeze for most.As a result, the majority of investors are looking at BRRRR's for long term buy and holds in Detroit.Happy to talk through the nuances or send you some Detroit specific resources.

Some might have a strong NNN tenant in place with 10+ years left on the lease, and it might be a big corporation that you can take to court if they ghost on paying their rent, while others might be office suites broken up into small offices on 6-36 month leases with shaky tenants like a nutrition supplement MLM that uses the office for 3x a week rah rah meetings on how to recruit more people into the pyramid scheme, that are immune to law suits b/c you can't squeeze juice out of a rock.

If you're new you may have to take the low hanging fruit and deal with some problems and then move up.

As for the median American in my age group, yes I'm way beyond that and I attribute that success to the following:- Willing to delay gratification on a regular basis- Willing to do jobs no one else wants to do- Willing to work long hours for results (a strong work ethic)- Willing to take calculated but high upside/low downside risks- Willing to allow the "fruits of my labor" to be returned to the business instead of paying for a lavish lifestyle- A strong commitment to these principles by my spouse- A strong run of being healthy enough to work to produce excess profits- The fortuitous grace of being born and growing up in the United States, where opportunities for financial success are everywhere and accessible to anyone- A splash of luck at being in the "right place at the right time"
