That process has direct lender involvement.Where the challenge lies, is when unsophisticated "investors" with no experience, no money and no reserves use creative financing (often called wrap, subto, lease option, seller financing, land contract) to purchase properties and along the way there is a "hiccup".

By staying informed and adaptable, investors can find opportunities in both booming and challenging markets.Overall, with careful planning, thorough research, and a strategic mindset, real estate investing can be a fulfilling journey towards financial success and stability.

While I own quite a few rental units already, I thought condos might be a good option to gift to my kids when they turn 18, offering them a safe introduction to property ownership without too much risk.However, my challenge with investment condos is that the cash flow always seems terrible.

@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!
