You’d probably find “bigger discounts” from people who put a large amount down when they bought 2-5 years ago but have to move.

@Mickael Castillo It's worth a try, but IME investors like that will probably blow you off.

We will probably pivot one or both to be long term rentals.

The deck floorboards aren't in the best shape, so I should probably do that first, and the estimate I got last summer was $12000.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

He can probably help you find other folks in Detroit to help you.

That's a place where you probably will be DIY. 

It will probably get flagged and taken down here

I probably have about $100,000 of my own funds to put up, (will need $500k Minimum) but don’t have the credit or the income at this current time (Just gut renovated my main residence). 

A few things that newer investors should note:- it took 13 years to get there, you have to be patient- rents are high at about $1,750, so probably a quality neighborhood- looks like that is after vacancies, probably low turnover?
