@Sundone Boutvyseth-the lowest Down for a SFR  rental  property is  15% ...if you are able to  locate an  option with 10%  down - this is likely  going to be pricey  but if you need to minize the down - it  might be  worth  using 

@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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?

At over 4000 sq ft, I'm surprised you won't be able to list for a much higher number to net a decent profit, but without knowing more specifics on the house and location, I am speculating here. 

Assuming this is in fact a good deal, and your friend is a qualified GC, instead of trying to be the lead investor, he should be searching for someone who has the balance sheet to take down this deal on their and be a transactional participant.

Then to find inventory, you need to search out, i.e. network, and find out who is creating these type of notes or you help people that may have an interest in seller financing how to create a note that is marketable to the secondary market.

Recently a duplex came on the market that I am really interested in, it is located in an A neighborhood.
