Has the population and job situation stabilized in Detroit yet?

It's a business and you have to treat it that way.You start early in the day and potentially have appointments at night when people come home from work, either to meet with sellers or to take buyer's out.You can set your own hours, but ultimately, you have to work around everyone's schedule.

I am also under contract on a quad scheduled to be completed this December in Clarksville Tennessee.

Just do your job, but know that you could give the seller a higher price which is more beneficial to him?

If the offer is accepted I schedule a professional inspection to verify the condition and life expectancy  of all major components and appliances.  

Does anyone have a particular Inspector or Company that does a really good thorough job?

Make sure you job is stable, you have reserves, your credit is where it should be, you do your diligence on the city to ensure it has staying power, you do your diligence on the property, estimate costs correctly, etc.

If you don't take the FHA route, you can expect to have to put close to 20-25% down if you finance through a bank or commercial lender.If you have a steady w2 job, some savings for a downpayment, and the price is right, I believe acquiring a loan for a fourplex shouldn't be too difficult!

Beautiful place, but we LOVE Hawaii and have some great job opportunities.

I have an appointment scheduled with tax professional but thought I would venture into obtaining some info from some of BP's wisest...1.
