@Colin Ford recommend getting experience with your RI duplex before going OOS.You should DIY manage the unit next door, so you LEARN about property management, the goog, the bad and the ugly.Then you'll be so much better prepared to invest OOS!

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

I recommend you hire an attorney for this until you know the process well enough to do it alone.

If so (and even if not), I would love any recommendations to a loan officer in the metro Detroit area.Thank you in advance,Aaron RaffaelliAaron,Yes, it should be entirely possible!

Hiring a local real estate attorney or working with a knowledgeable agent is recommended to ensure compliance and protect your investment.3.

Recommend RARELY to agree to that!

Any particular companies you’d recommend? 

I'd recommend focusing on properties that have been on market over 45 days in the boroughs and over 30 days in the suburbs.

So, with a mix of retail and residential, I'd recommend something in the middle is a good starting point.
