If so, I always recommend getting the study done prior to rehabbing.

Hi Casey,I would recommend looking into buying right in the City of Detroit and not necessarily the suburban areas.

The priority is consistent recommendations from active investors.

We estimate the project will take less than 3 months to complete.I’m exploring alternative short-term financing solutions and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on options that might work well for this type of project.Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I recommend that you look at Notice of Defaults, Vacants, Tax Liens or Probate. 

Highly recommend!

So far I have contacted a decent real estate lawyer and had them recommend contractors to make sure I am not getting screwed over and the help me through the process and hired a CPA.
