And the agent suggesting Detroit is just going to screw you, especially if its a turn key investment, and that is from personal experience.I was in the same situation you are in and had nobody to guide me but i did my homework and went on sites like this but once i had a criteria of what I needed a property to be for me to buy I just went out and bought it. 1st off, it would be worthwhile to find out if you qualify for a loan, but even if you did, interest rates are moving upward so time is running out on a good rate.

Thank you @David Song, @Devonte Blackmon and @Eric C.It certainly makes the effort worthwhile to see it adds value to some fellow investors.Please subscribe to the blog.

Ones that come to mind are Milwaukee WI, Indianapolis IN, Memphis TN, Atlanta GA, and Kansas City MO.Wherever you can find deals with good ROI is worthwhile when the surrounding market demographics are trending in a positive direction.Excited to see what action you take!

It wont come easy or quick but it can be worthwhile.

Light makes people happy and the extra cost will be worthwhile. 

Well, since we are all here, we obviously think flipping is worthwhile but none of us know if it is a good idea for you because we know nothing about you or your experience or skills.If you do your homework and learn the business and can find homes to buy at enough of a discount, you can be very successful.

@James R. it's good that you are trying to be creative and find a way to make a deal work, but there comes a point when there are just too many pit falls to make deal worthwhile.

Be broke and payment- strapped with a deflating worth while 'looking good', or...  

If you can look past the pitches and use the opportunity to get to know other local investors, I think you will find it worthwhile. if you come to another meeting, I hope you'll find me and say hi.

I think that if you could rent it out during more than one season it may be worthwhile, but the conversation that prompted me to do the math was in regards to having a house on an island off Maine called Vinalhaven that we visit frequently.
