Every day I receive calls from out of state investors who paid far too much for their property in my opinion and it always is because they trusted others too much instead of performing their own research.

Then they receive the money and you still keep your money and earn money on it.

If you can get a better deal on the home due to age its a fine and if you need financing banks do not judge year built. 

Send a certified letter today so you can prove that they received it.

I did a "blind" assessment where I paid/reimbursed a close family friend to go in as a guest because there were a lot of details I wasn't privy to- and wanted to understand (the whole experience and process from the guest perspective from the initial inquiry, emails, etc.).They shared the email communications (some of which was glitchy or not quite as good as what I'd expect, or told me of delays in receiving responses).

(Had we rebuilt the original windows we would have been fine and wouldn't have had to bring them to current code.)

I agree with some investors here, in Detroit you have plenty of opportunities to get decent cashflow now.Just use any Zillow like tool that sort listings by LTR cap rate, I use findvest.io they have decent vision AI filters to filter trash houses compared to mashvisor 26 doors and scalingJust make sure to copy and paste the addresses on spotcrime and don't buy in a warzone, and you should be fine.

., I think you are fine to move on to another plumber.

A lot of out of town investors like to buy property over here due to the cash flow that they can receive.

So, consider the source when receiving advice from out of town contributors.
