I've been searching online to try and figure it out, but a crime map will only tell you so much. 

I'm reminded from non-RE friends about how I take risks with real estate and I should be try to be mortgage free but when I look at my stocks, I have no control over the value other than to buy or sell. 

My wife and I currently own a house in Royal Oak, Michigan (Metro Detroit). we have decent equity in the house as we bought it in 2017 and have 2.65% mortgage rate. 

Feel free to reach out to me and ask me questions, we are a Veteran owned and operated mortgage company.

My intention is to use the insurance claim funds to pay off the mortgage on the rental property.

These activities include shopping for mortgage, communication with lenders, going to open houses, doing comps for putting in an offer, analysing disclosures, and closing activities.

In addition, it ensures any required repayment of any assistance provided by NACA for the mortgage payment. 

Options: 1: I try to develop one of the two current vacant lots that I own using a mobile home to bring in more rental income without needing to get a new mortgage.

Find the owner's information online and write them a letter. 

You want to invest just to have a place to live and potentially offsetting your mortgage payment by renting out the vacated rooms or having x amount of cashflow in the future?
