@Drew Sygit Very true, Detroit is definitely block by block market.

There is another house about two blocks over that I have the opportunity to buy off market under market value.

I will be using this as a building block on how I manage properties in the future so its important to me to have a basis to start from. 

Now I'm banned for spamming and while I'd like to handle this privately I'm blocked from the messaging system. 

But I would think they all can easily run the comps so you know the numbers you are aiming for in any given neighborhood/block/property. 

We were not able to recover any yard damages due to other damages they had left that needed repair, which empted out their security deposit.

That said, Detroit is very much a block-by-block city, so local knowledge is critical to avoid issues.If you’re serious about learning more, feel free to send me a DM.

My biggest road block right now is finding a PM company.

In all major cities, especially ones with a higher crime index, unless you study the market and know it, I would never rely on someone else to choose a block.

Again, I do not want buying the multi-family home to block me from accessing lending for the second home when I move.- Does anyone see any flaws or can offer some improvements/considerations to the financing strategy of this plan?
