I am anticipating the growth of the surrounding areas right outside of both neighborhoods values are still tremendously low(Chandler Park Dr, etc.)

I know many people were excited about the growth there, but from what I've heard from several small business owners and churches in the area, things aren't picking up as expected.

Portland is a growth market, Detroit is stagnant. 

When I asked for pictures of what was done, they would not provide any, I had to pay an additional $250 to build a from step handrail, $200 to install a new bathroom mirror and light (the other what half way in the shower, they never fixed an interior window that they could not get anyone come and fix because of Covid, I got it fixed in 2 days) $300 to a cleaning service to clean up the house, $1000 for a dividing fence, $500 to a lawn company to come cut the vines and over growth on the driveway.

Typically not as much cash flow but the appreciation tends to be better over time and the rent growth as well.If you can afford it long term the better investment areas that have been stable for decades demand a serious look.

Long story short, as long as the metrics work, this will be a good venture for you and will create more opportunities for growth.

That is a city with projected growth in jobs and population. 

I am currently bedding my last 2 rehabsBoth just competedMy plan is to firstly ensure that my assets are performing, by this I mean cashflowingI will then target growth/appreciating areas in DetroitBaby steps at the moment

Sure, some areas will yield more, but the population is expanding rapidly and we are not building homes at a rate to accommodate the growth.

when someone tells me "ohh my friend took that course and it helped them immensely..."
