Thinking about investing in Detroit Michigan. 

I think the biggest issue is the fact that the agent didn't disclose this from the beginning and it seems like he was trying to keep it a secret.

Like others, I don't think I am following what you are trying to accomplish and how partnering would further it. 

Hi @Sean Leahy - good direction, I've never considered this but now that I think about, whenever I've had some random rental/sale listings I've been approached by brokers who said they represent folks that are part of the insurance company's claim management process (e.g. their house burnt down due to an accident). 

Yes, note investing is a completely different animal, apples to oranges.I do know that PPR has gotten a bit into multifamily investing, but I don't think that is their focus.

No advice as I think my savings account earns maybe 1%, so I'd also love to hear from others.

Of course we want to grow and scale, but the beauty of this strategy is the flexibility - don't think that just because you dont cash flow right after you move, it is not a good investment. 

Quote from @Peter Walther: I think you'll find most, if not all title insurers, will require the DIL to be dated and executed subsequent to default in order to insure. 

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Engelo Rumora: @David KanarekI don't think I have ever seen better investigative research than this.Hat's off to you and sorry for your troubles and everyone else's.Please don't investigate me haha Engelo as someone that has taken this kind of abuse on BP and SM  and lived to fight another day I think you understand better than most investors mind set and how they feel or attack if their deal does not go right.
