@Rae Chris Ann Arbor is pretty expensive, so difficult to find cashflowing rentals.You may want to look in Ypsilanti - if you want to stay in your area.Otherwise, Metro Detroit offers a LOT of options.Read our copy & paste below for some helpful info:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

James the issue is Sub to is a completely different transaction than C$D . 

Think on it, how much does $250mnth buy for a furnace, a/c, water heater, carpets, really any reno at all?

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

1) We make sure backside funds are confirmed at title before we initiate frontside wire.2) Our agreement that we get the wholesaler to sign essentially would allow us to secure a loan against the property if for whatever reason there was an issue (as never happened).3) We generally insist that both the A-B and the B-C contract are at the same title company.

As a funder, I can provide an EMD of E dollars with a compensation of C dollars.

You might even want to setup a C-Corp (for tax and liability reasons as well) to manage the business with the guests and pay rent to your LLC. 

It's Class C and D properties that are struggling.

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.
