@Hamidou Keita Detroit is one of the best cities in the Midwest for investors, see chart below:Regarding, your first property, we've helped many OOS investors get started in Detroit with our logical approach to invest wisely and avoid critical mistakes.

I had a contractor that I had to fire last month for a multitude of reasons (using my materials on his other job, extremely substandard work that has to be redone by someone else now, not paying his subs,  lying about work being completed that was not actually done, etc).

Hi - Congrats on starting your investment journey!

I'm looking to get started in real estate investing.

@Ryan TongueWe started with a smaller credit union and ended up switching to Chase as we grew.

Our goal is to start buying MF within the next year to two years.

This is located in oak harbor WA on Whidbey Island if that is pertinent for calculating a deduction just a general idea would give me a huge help at least would be a starting point the rent is higher than a lot of similar apartments however as I stated it's on property but the lack of kitchen almost cancels out the benefit of the setting.

I always recommend to anyone start with a duplex, manage it from there and then grow. 

In my experience, many insurers will cover the house but not the roof, ensuring you have protection against fires, broken water pipes, falling down the stairs, etc.
