@Delbert Standifer RWN's Detroit affiliate is managing two of my duplexes and I'm less than happy. 

I'm purchasing a vacant home from a family affiliate, so I have the luxury of using the renovation loan avenue in spite of the less competitive time constraints.

We are not affiliated with a broker so we do not sell product.
