Find a disinterested 3rd party to check out work periodically esp big ticket items.Mexicantown, Islandview, and Core Cities are decent appreciation plays, but very speculative.

Lots of people there are the old Black Middle Class (think shop owners, or Union guys) that bought those homes during White Flight and have refused to leave the City or let people turn their neighborhood homes into halfway houses, adult foster care,etc. 

We are down to our final 5 tickets for this first ever mixer in Detroit.

And best of all, it's a quick flight from NY if you want to visit.

As a general rule of thumb, a lot of times your bigger ticket items are going to be- foundation, on-site septic, roof problems, mechanicals, etc.

Hi @Anne A.Your not alone in your desire to rid yourself of partners; oddly most of the circumstances I come across involve siblings looking to split assets.good luck and careful with the small asset investments out of your home market, hate to see you spend your profits on plane tickets should the asset require a visit...BestA

They also just took away our flights and are trying to force us to completely relocate up here or quit!

My name is actually Kevin, Troy Smith was on my email account I used to use to sell a lot of OSU football tickets from, everyone will pay extra in hopes of meeting Troy Smith and all were let down.

Jeff Beard,Here where I am, split-level means a house where there's a "ground" level, and THEN there are stairs usually a half-flight up to the bedrooms and bathroom(s), and a half-flight of stairs down to the family room / lower level.

But even though you would pay somewhere between $200-$400 in monthly maintenance fees for the unit, isn't that offset somewhat by the fact that you won't be paying for big ticket repairs in the future, like a new roof (or if you do, it's spread across all the condo owners as a special assessment)?
