Dividend is marked by a restructuring of holdings, simplifying things, getting out of day-2-day and just being the owner.

When they do, feel free to reach out. 

If they don’t, that’s a red flag, and I’d be out of there.Hope that helps! 

The only thing that sounds out of the ordinary here is the water bill

Quote from @Luis Cerwin: I have a single family house in Detroit (I'm out of state) for past few years.

Here are some of its vitals:- Zestimate: $345K (I know this is typically 10% or so high)- Last Sold: 8/2021 for $281K- Roughly 1400 sqft- Some cosmetic work needed- $25K left on solar loan- The home was build in 2004 and it looks like it has the original AC unit, so I am assuming that needs to be replaced too. - 2 story house with very small rooms and and 2 steps down, imminently as you enter the front door.- Gated community and in a reasonable HOA. - The home is 2 payments behind and already got a letter from the lender about future foreclose.

We moved out end of November.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

I find that cash flow is very important so that I don’t have to come “out of pocket” to pay for major improvements / repairs  

@Paige Corsello...You could call your bank contacts and find out if they are broker friendly.
