So we took the plunge on some cheap Detroit houses and it's been really good to us.

Birds of a feather flock together!

Ask your bank specifically for a "line of credit" against the house(s) you have.

However, I don't have enough money for the land, and getting financing for land is much harder than for a house.I have an inside connection to the owner, who is open to selling a 1-bedroom wood frame house on the lot next to the land for $60,000.

Owner Occupants are trying to scoop these houses up too so you'll have to make your offer appealing. - Anderson, IN has been a very successful area for my investor clients.

Two of the three houses she wants to sell have tenants so she is kind of forced to sell to an investor/wholesaler unless she wants to wait til next year when the leases are up.

Like get a 100000 line of credit and buy 2 houses each year?

By the way, I'll be attending my first few "Open Houses for Investors" in Detroit this month.

…essentially the bones of the house and have that partfinanced.

can you start with a house hack where you live?
