I meant that if we use a written document rehashing what was discussed along with the seller deeding the property away, they're going to be in a weakened position.

Sorry I meant to say one lot with two four plexes that are two bed room unitsthanks

@Jamie I have a family member who is currently a private lender and a couple that I've had invest with me in the past.  1% a day I think was meant to be funny but they forgot to put the smiley face :-) so you would know it's a joke, maybe?

No offense meant toward architect's fees, LOL.Major Rehabs are rather rare in residential, but there is a thread that might interest you, has "Pop Top" in the title, if you search that you'll find it.

I meant are you looking to lend on local rehab purchases in order to raise capital to purchase your Detroit rentals?  

I meant to include the link for the information above: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/north-carol...

A hole in a gravel driveway ( I had to call and find out what they meant- I got my rake out),  an unregistered vehicle (it was there for 3 days waiting for an out of state title, was quite new, but you think they would ask?)

It was always meant to be a long-term investment anyway, so I'm not going to beat myself up about that. 

Thank you to all of you for taking your time to give me advice :) I'm coming up with a game plan now and have already meant a couple investors that live in my area through this sight. 

I was under the impression that if the property was listed as "Cash or Rehab Loan Only" that meant that no bank would issue a traditional mortgage for the property.
