How are you planning to fund the rehab costs?

@Austin Brummett i would say do it if you plan to stick around. 

Any good HML will be happy to share the contact info of borrowers so you can see how easy the process was and how well they treated the investor.Can you share a recent closing document or HUD?

Where would you start with a process like this. 

Every state has a slightly different process, and time frame for each step, so you may want to consult a Realtor for your state process.

I have a rental property in Detroit that I am looking to get certified, and have tried following the process on the Detroit Housing Commission website (https://www.dhcmi.org/landlord-faqs), which says " To list your property with the Detroit Housing Commission (DHC), you can visit DHC’s Assisted Housing Division office located at 2211 Orleans, Detroit, Michigan 48207.

In addition, if you're actively flipping properties in the area, I currently have time on my hands and I'd be happy to support you in one of your projects in exchange for learning in depth about the process. 

If we know where we are going it's easy to make a plan. 

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

I’d appreciate any insights, lessons learned, or recommendations from those who have gone through this process.
