Quote from @Polat Caglayan: What do professional investors think about Detroit's course and future? 

I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals and direct outreach.

Contractor – This is one I really need help from the bigger pockets community in the local area. 

Readers should seek professional advice.

I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.

Just like every professional has a different pay range and skill cap, PM has differences in knowledge and skills.

My tax professional is stating that I would need an appraisal to show the lot/structure are valued at $400k if I try to claim $200k as a donation.

@Brandon P.I use a mix of things and still struggling to find the best solution.All the solution requires to have a mechanical lockbox with backup key at location for lockout or contractor.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Even when talking with some real estate professionals who would seem to have an incentive to help me with renting out my property, I have been met with serious warnings (they pretty much say don't do it).
