Hey Richard, I do a ton in Detroit both personally and with other investors.We need some more details to fully answer the question.- How long has your friend owned the property?

You will get the best financing for a personal residence and you can repeat this over and over. 

I personally accept Section 8 in my properties.

And the review from the person claiming to be a BP member closed. 

Whether it's due to personal ties or their upbringing, emotions can get in the way of rational thought and analysis.

From what I can find, I have been told by some people that I don’t personally have to be in it as long as a family member is in it.  

But some people do.As an agent, my team works with a lot of investors and based on experience we require OOS clients to meet with us in Milwaukee at least one time to check out neighborhoods in person.

yeah you should definitely include this if you wouldn't personally be able to pay all the overhead if you were not getting rent for 6 months, due to like a fire or something.

However, the person the lien was placed against can look into What is PA state tax forgiveness?"

Personal residence?
