Also how do folks feel about Real Estate buyers who aren't investing for maximum Cash-flow, but instead investing for long-term equity, appreciation, and eventual cash-flow?

@Jonah Gunalda you fit the profile of a large segment of the passive investing community--someone who has a good income from something they are really good at, and would like exposure to real estate in their investment portfolio without distracting them from that very vocation that put them in the position to make such an investment in the first place.There probably isn't a "typical" profile of folks who do not and would not invest in syndications. 

Many folks feel that a one year hold is sufficient. 

Also, I have heard success stories of folks finding good contractors at the home improvement stores early in the AM.

The folks who are placing families affected by a need for an insurance claim have an "inbox" that is overflowing.

It's a huge win, and I admit, at the top end in terms of outcomes.Most deals are leaving $5,000 - $15,000 post-refinance but still nicely cash flowing.In short, yes, there's a lot of opportunity in Detroit but you really need to understand the market or work with folks that do.I'd be happy to chat with you or anyone else looking at the market there.

I went through their website, social media, and looked up some of the folks that work for them.

U have to vette folks to make sure they take care of it and just dont sell it .. :)  So with what you have raised and if you want to continue raising money you could follow the same path I did..

I started investing in 2019, got my license in 2021 and was initially with a residential broker that was primarily focused on retail transactions (aka sales, purchases, leases, for regular end user folks). 

First, I'd suggest connecting with a good realtor (@Tal Tamir in Cleveland and @Anthony Petitti in Columbus are folks I've worked with and love) as well as a property manager in that market.
