In the last 5 years, we've invested over $300k of savings toward down payments and rehabs. 

But if you put in the effort, Detroit can be incredibly rewarding.Over the last several years, the city has been on a steady upswing: population growth, major corporate investments, and increasing demand for housing are all positive indicators.

Home prices have decreased over the last 18 months so there is lack of good options and values still above normal. 

A little frustrated and thinking about being done, we kept the door on the hinges as we finished our last few planes on the bottom corner. 

Mortar, paint & bonding materials deteriorate leaving cracks, gaps, etc. which can be concerning to look at, but this is very often addressed with repointing.

I moved to the Sarasota area last year, and have been impressed by the REIA meetings here.

This is prime real estate, and is just about the last piece of land in this area.I have begun to develop a commercial property that I own with contractor garages, which is the extent of my experience in this space.I'm trying to get a sense of how to structure something like this, with using LP's, and also partnering with a builder, and carving something out in that regard.Does anyone have recommendations on who is currently working in this space and could provide some insight?
