Feels like getting a higher LTV would be the more important thing from both a liquidity perspective and a return perspective no.

So let's say that same scenario and property does sell higher than 60000 and the end person who does move in there would be a regular Joe and they're going to live in there with their family on a mortgage and a note, can someone then come in after 1 year of those people living there c sell that property again for 60000 70000 80000 whatever the amount is  and then the cycle starts back over again depending on who that buyer is if they're going to wholesale it for a higher amount or if they're going to live in it themselves as a primary residence I mean I'm just looking at this whole perspective for or real estate as a huge cycle like where is the beginning and where is the end for that price point on the house and is that all just based on running the numbers within that particular Market in that area to know the value of the home and then go from there?

From my perspective it's 100% bank financing.

A basic google search shows groups in Macomb/Oakland/Wayne counties and was hoping to get some member perspective on these associations.

Whether a property generates income or not is immaterial to the VA from an occupancy perspective.

To put it into perspective I am finishing up a remodel on one side of a duplex, 3/2 1200sqft, and i'll be $50k in when completed. 

Our plan is that both our names will be mentioned in the title (she will own 99% and i'll own 1%).From a buying process perspective, since she can be in town only in about 2 months, and we don't want to miss this deal, we thought that as a first step, we would only put my name on all documents/deed/title, meaning i'll be the one to buy the condo, and then, when she gets here, we'll just add her to the title.Does is sound like a good/legal/applicable strategy?

Solo 401ks are fine but a proper 401k plan is pretty amazing from an asset protection perspective due to ERISA protections. 

Just curious to see the perspective from an international investor on the types of things you are looking for in a market when potentially investing from afar. 

I really just want to know more about the deals as a whole and what they are all about from an outside looking in perspective!
