Hey Michael,Local to you in Middletown here I would love to connect and chat more about this one.

Definitely look into local meetups, REI groups, and BP networking events to connect with like-minded investors.

I am a local realtor and investor.

The seller would have to be paying us to take the property if we wanted to make that amount.We make use of the tools here on BP to help frame out a deal as well as using our knowledge of the local market to gauge what a property will be worth renovated. 

Detroit is a market where local have a strong competitive advantage over non-locals so you want to use that to your advantage.

@Audrey Sommer I prefer investing in my local market (Snohomish County).

I recommend you discuss and plan this in depth with a local lender who knows your market well. 

Hello Gagan, Some important tools and resources I incorporate into my business to help finding deals is to network with local investors.

depending on how backed up the county is it can e take a few months for court date. in essex county it took my mother in law about 8 months or so for the full process. she had an attorney, not sure if that sped anything up

Hi @Fulati PaerhatiI'm local here in Memphis and for that price point, I would recommend the Millington and Oakland areas.
