I'm local to the area you checked into on the post.

You need 6" clear from ground to bottom plate, and ground must slope away from house...5) Any place that water can enter the house (doors and windows, skylights, where roof meets eaves, etc...) should be checked thoroughly, if it's not raining on inspection day, you have to be really careful with this...any suspect areas, put a hose on them....

On that note, any good PMs anyone would recommend in Detroit area?

@Dan Geffen moved down there and knows the area well if you want to connect with a local investor.

Based on the development expected over the next decade, I believe it's a great area to invest in. 

I'm in the Tampa Bay area and I will put an ad on Craigslist, Indeed or post in a group on Facebook for AirBNB/STRs. 

I wonder if there is a way to web scrape for when a new realtor is hired or passed exams in the area so that I could hit them up immediately.  

Continually communicate clearly with all parties involved to make sure that expectations are as close to realistic timelines as possible.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?
