Detroit offers solid cash flow potential, a relatively low barrier to entry, and the market fundamentals are improving with a growing population and significant investments in the city.Since you’re based in upstate NY, Detroit is also a quick and easy flight, making it easier to visit and get a feel for the market if you’re considering out-of-state investing.

There's a post right above mine from a lender... there's always a lender offering $$$ even when people can't afford it. 

My offer got accepted for an investment property in Pennsylvania.

It’ll save you headaches later if she tries to escalate things.Document Everything: Take pictures, write down the history of your interactions etcOffer a Transition Plan: Just like my client, I’d recomend offering her a temporary storage option nearby, or even a small rent discount, to show you’re not trying to kick her out - just keeping the property safe and up to code.

Offer a competitive interest rate, but lower than the current rates being paid. 

Financing can make a big difference, and local lenders who understand house hacking and multi-family investing can sometimes offer more flexibility than big banks.

It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.

And thanks for your offer to chat! 

one of the incentives we can offer is free property management.let me know if i can help answer any questions.

Nice…You can’t offer less for a property full of fire rubble (lead and asbestos?)
