@Josue Rivera I would be cautious about taking it all the way back to a SFH.

But due to the potential impact, investors are very cautious.

As you're planning to flip this and get your money back out quickly you could, very cautiously and carefully and by no means should you do if you're bad with credit cards, apply for a number of 0% intro rate credit cards.

(By June of 2017)Strive to stay cautious and smart about purchasing properties that meet our high quality standards.Year 3 + (3-5 year goal)Continue to purchase a minimum of 1 commercial building per quarter.Have a net cash flow of 10k (ten thousand) per month after all expenses.

In my area at least the tax records are updated not as often so you might have old data that way and the new property owner isn't listed.With the tax system we use for MLS they have an ownership name, mortgage info if any, and the recording document which you can research online if the county records allow it or you would have to go to the courthouse and look at the document for contact info.If it's a corp you can go to your SOS website and look up the contact there.The sales agent for the buyer would be the easiest route the agent will just be cautious you are not trying to take them out of future deals and steal their client from them.

I'm sure that I'm just being over cautious but since it will be the first income producing property I have owned I  don't need any surprises. 

I would be very cautious if using a 401(k) to jump into real estate. 

Also, a lot of lenders don't lend in Detroit, so be cautious of that. 

Of course right now with Covid, the mortgage lenders are being more cautious.

I agree with the sentiment on this thread in response to your post.You can't be afraid to move or you will never move, the time will NEVER be right for the cynic or unreasonably cautious.
