You'd be better off building a solid emergency fund and developing relationships with reliable local GCs.

What kind of funding can I acquire to develop this property?

With no RE background and a full time job I was still able to create the right entity I needed, develop a powerful tax strategy, found a partner to invest with, and about to close on a rehab where we will both make $25k+.

I want to scale, but not sure how to develop my strategy.I have a $200k HELOC and excellent credit worthiness and high income from my day job.

Developing a strong network of individuals who care about bettering themselves, their family, their communities and especially helping out anyone who wants to make more of themselves.

Always approach as a developer with a specific usage.

The rent-to-price ratios here make cash flow realistic, and there’s a lot of revitalization happening that adds appreciation potential.Detroit’s population is officially growing again, and there’s strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods seeing more development.

As your base level of knowledge grows, you will start to develop a clearer picture on the things you want to do, and where you skill sets lie, which can narrow down who you may want for partner.  

This caused a lot of developers to leave the city and has caused headaches for landlords.

I agree with @Jamie Banks that, while it takes time, its best to develop these relationships organically.
