You've gotta work with someone who understand the investor route, a broker, who knows who can actually get the loan done is your best bet!

@Francys Ramirez Detroit is a VERY popular market for OOS investors.Will you be looking to buy/sell for yourself or other investors?

I know the midwest is very popular.

More than half of banana imports, America’s most popular fruit by volume, comes in through the ports being struck as of Tuesday morning, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.Other items I have read that are at risk are: cherries, cocoa, sugar, imported wine, beer and hard liquor.In the spirit of the strike impacting more than just materials and labor directly correlated to real estate, I intentionally posted this in "Off Topic" as I want to get a better understanding of what your concerns are with an ongoing strike.

I'll bet there was no locksmith or the tenant locked themselves out of the house.Unless there was a defective lock, I wouldn't pay and even then, why didn't the tenant call you?

We made a bet: be okay with no (or negative) margins on cleaning and let high quality reviews pay dividends years later.It’s paying off. 

TurboTenant is a popular platform that offers various property management tools for landlords.

If want more full service with good tools and minimal fees check out Fulton Grace or Exp both popular with investors.

If its' long term appreciation (which I'm personally not a fan of betting on) you can look at it as, if you put a small 3.5% down payment using FHA or Fannie Mae, and your property appreciates on average at 3% a year.

Your best bet for locating and connecting with this individual is on BiggerPockets or your local REI meet-up.
