I think your best bet is going to local clubs in those areas, it would probably be a good thing to go visit the area your going to invest in.joshs@Josh Caldwell is right BiggerPockets is a great place as well, I assume you where saying BiggerPockets not bogger pockets right @Josh Caldwell?

.#2  Property manager tells me the roof needs to be replaced - $4500 costs.At the time of purchase about 1.5 years I got a credit for $2000 for the roof because the inspection said the roof was in poor condition.   

Your next best bet to find something cheap is the North End which is about 3 Miles North of Downtown, but off Woodward and Oakland Aves, or maybe the east Jefferson Area.Also, if your Spanish is pretty solid, and can handle dealing with people without a verifiable job, or immigration papers, SW Detroit, in Mexican Village could be an option.In all these places I mentioned you better be ready to dig in hard on a renovation, and take control of the property.

I purchased and read Rich dad poor dad, I also purchased both of J Scotts books and am in the process of reading them.

Thank you all I'm starting with Rich Dad Poor Dad, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, and Landlording on auto-pilot.Can you clarify Rhondalette W.

Enjoyable was a poorly chosen word on my part.

Many of these properties are in poor condition.

I would bet very few in Detroit.  10 years is forever. 

I came across 'rich dad poor dad', as it seems most of us have and decided I wanted more out of life.

Hi @Stephan HaasRich dad poor dad, for me was a great book.
