Services for survivorsHarriet's Hope is open to any individual — no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation — who has experienced human trafficking or chronic homelessness, meets CMHA's income guidelines for a housing voucher and is ready to make a commitment to sobriety, Kendall said.Most residents will be identified through the Salvation Army, but referrals can come from anyone, anywhere, she said.What sets the community apart from others is that the services residents need are embedded within it, Kendall said.Services include substance abuse disorder treatment by Alvis, case management through the Salvation Army, gender-affirming case management through Kaleidoscope Youth Center, a computer lab furnished by Dell, a food pantry, nutritional services, financial literacy classes, peer support, employment readiness programs, legal aid, health screenings, child care and more.Residents will start out with a one-year lease before going month to month, Kendall said.

Personally I like the 13% lending option but I am biased.

Since I clearly have a bias here, I will leave it at that ;)If you really feel the best option is to invest in your home market: Wait it out, save some more money, put in the time and wait until you can afford a solid B property in your area.

I will not allow an Owner's biased input to create a potential Fair Housing issue.

Lots of biased, self serving advice on this thread.

There is a fair chance that I am bias because I operate in Milwaukee, as an investor for almost 15 years and as an agent with a team for the last 7.

YES, we may be a little biased, but check out our blog here on BP comparing Detroit to other cities and Deep Dives on Metro Detroit cities & neighborhoods: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Your biggest question shouldn't be WHERE to invest, but HOW you will invest!

@Filipe Pereira I try to surround myself with good PMs, so maybe I'm biased.

--I do have to admit, I'm so tired of all the property manager bias out here misleading small-time landlords!
