That way I don't get stuck with the high PGE rates.  

It's a very competative segment as it is highly sought after for the same reasons you are looking at it.

Based on your goals, experience level, and my assumption that high earning w-2s tend to be demanding of your time, I actually think that there are better ways for you to offset your w-2 income.

A very high percentage of my tenants (in fact, almost all of them) were single mothers. 

Yes, it is good area so I think it will appreciate, just we already bought with high price so not sure how much appreciated. 

I highly recommend Travis' newsletter about all things Detroit (and beyond) https://www.buyingdetroitrealestate.com/.

Can you share any high level details about the nature of the trickiness so we can also help others learn on this thread?

This tenant has been a pain in the *** and high maintenance from the get go, but we are stuck with them.  

Hello Galen, I would highly suggest not trying to get super creative here and just form your own LLC, buy the property and put it in there, and write this one off as a win! 

I honestly should have more money saved up considering my years of working full-time, however younger financial mistakes have been a painful lesson and I regret not purchasing a property sooner/younger.My most important and immediate goal right now is to purchase a property.I am in (what I perceive to be) a relatively high cost real estate area.
