We are considering investing in Houston as foreign investors (from Belgium), our goal is to find and start with a long-term rental single or multi family home. 

Detroit can be a fantastic place to invest if you’re prepared for the realities that come with it. 

@Autumn DeVaughnSince you already have experience as a real estate agent and property manager, you're in a great position to start investing.

Given that I’m currently unemployed, I’m leaning towards a fix-and-flip to generate some liquidity.Here’s my current situation:My first investment property (the duplex) was purchased using a HELOC from my mother’s primary residence (via Union Savings Bank), and the deed is currently in her name.I also secured a second HELOC against the investment property to cover contractor expenses.I'm considering transferring the property into a DSCR loan under an LLC, but I believe this would close out the second HELOC—can anyone confirm if that’s correct?

There is a 30 year conventional loan product that only requires 5% down, which is great to use with this strategy.Are you focusing on investing in Bangor specifically?

I reach out just to help as I'm a local agent/investor here in the area; and my focus is primarily on investment properties with my clients.
