You have a baseline of knowledge and you have your first investment property which will begin to build real world experience. 

The vast majority of Madison, Morgan, and limestone counties should be prime appreciation plays over the next few years.

If you want to get into the market for the appreciation play and are willing to negatively cash flow a bit you could consider a negative DSCR loan.

I've already spoken with a property manager and agents, but I'd like to hear firsthand experiences from other new investors in the Detroit market, especially within the first year or two of their initial investment.

I think there's more here than an appreciation play. 

ADU seems not to add much value search the forums for experiences

I would be thrilled to explore potential collaboration opportunities, share knowledge, and learn from your collective experiences.

I would be curious to see how this plays out in the end.

I have a client that is having a great experience with her mid term rentals so far.

If really interested to vet the reality of the Proforma I would be happy to give many names that can speak to the integrity of our numbers and how they have played out in reality.
