I did minor improvements to both of those, but unfortunately had to replace the roof on each (Flat roofs suck, lesson learned).

Have you contacted the Zoning Department to review the survey and ask what your subdivide options are with the existing improvements?

That's what I'm currently looking for as I search for deals.

I can search it but same deal, the search engines don't evaluate the results.

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....

I can already see the deals starting to find me rather than me searching for a deal. 

Improvements What was the outcome?

What drew me to Detroit initially was the potential for strong cash flow, but I’ve also seen appreciation in several of my properties as the city continues to improve.

One thing that did provide some reassurance is that we took the initiative to verify they own the property through a county property search.
