I’m even more concerned about property tax rates doubling in WV if it’s considered an investor property despite me living in it. 

Everything else I have read about them seems to be related to the US specifically and not mentioned at all amongst UK investors.

I've already spoken with a property manager and agents, but I'd like to hear firsthand experiences from other new investors in the Detroit market, especially within the first year or two of their initial investment.

I like connecting with investors in our areas.

This way the 250k I borrow from them won't be shown on my credit report, I can get a VA home loan for another 250k, buy our foreverhome for 500k, sell the townhome once moved for 400k, then pay off the personal investor loan for 250k + interest.

@Kenneth CisnerosHave you looked at left field investors ?

The same holds true for pulling any specialized permits (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc).Having said all the above, there are many homeowners and real estate investors who choose to fly under the radar.

Hoping to get some insight from some more experienced investors? 

The investor has equitable title to the property.
