If you are going to try wholesaling, target neighborhoods about 30 or 40 years old which tend to have high equity homes. 

For example, an expert saying, "Because of the X price, Y neighborhood, and Z estimated expenses, this property would be a great opportunity" versus "you should NOT buy this other property because of these X, Y, and Z problems" - etc.

I've been in The Springs for 25 years, so if you want to grab coffee or lunch while you're in town this week, we can talk through what areas could potentially be a fit for what you're looking to do.

I do understand that there are many different types of properties that don't fit into the correct zoning, or go against the restrictions and operate without a problem but I still wouldn't want to start a deal knowing that I am financing something that is against the law.

Which markets and neighborhoods you're going to pursue (your hometown or someplace else?

Downtown boomed so much even I couldnt afford a condo there hahaha. https://detroit.curbed.com/2018/5/18/17369214/5-detroit-neighborhood-developments-watch

Again I got recommendations from BP members as well as on Nextdoor in my neighborhood for Signature electric. 

However, if your home is in a high appreciation neighborhood, you get to retain the appreciation.- If you go with owner financing, you become the bank so you get paid every month but repairs, property taxes, etc... are no longer your problem.You know your personal financial situation as well as the condition of the home as well as rents in the neighborhood so you will have to decide which model is best for your situation.Good luck!

good is subjective, there's plenty ways people value a deal and it's not one size fits all.

So you'll have to find a new property that will fit the budget.
