There seems to be good value and opportunity in Detroit. 

The final walk through gives you the opportunity to inspect the property before the official sale.

- this could also be another career shift for me considering I am trying to find a more profitable source of income for my 9-5 job.

I am both hopeful that rates get cut (it will save some of my LP investments) but also hope they go up, significantly, so there are more opportunities for those of us with dry powder.

You have the right idea to house hack when the time comes, but it doesn't have to be now if you don't also have a job while finishing college.

It does give you the opportunity for value add though.

That is a huge rent payment for someone to live in Brighton, and that demographic does exist, but I would you would have a larger vacancy rate than a Class B asset, and what happens if that tenant loses their six figure job(s)? 

Another opportunity is found in development.

And there's the risk that the basic package or few packages included in the overall offer might not offer enough coverage for some homes.It might be helpful to survey your community to see what everyone thinks if you are friends with any neighbors or on a platform like NextDoor or wherever your community offers a networking/communication opportunity. 

I've recently left my long time W2 job after my leave of absence expired when caring for my husband.
