I tried to do some REI while there but the market was very strong and I just couldn't find anything that would cash flow and/or produce a profit if flipped.Is the market better there now?

Oddly, the first mailing of 1,000 postcards produced absolutely zero responses.  

I would suggest that you ask an accountant about software for producing k-1's.  

You could also just knock on the door, its Clarkston not Detroit so it should be pretty safe and this may actually produce the best results, people trust people that they can talk to face to face. 

Investing in other markets can produce much more for you.

@Chris McClain, Hello, the first thing I think about is if there is any way to Buy a small Condo and have it produce positive, monthly cash flow.

The faster it is in an income producing asset the faster you attain your goal. 

I am clear on all the restrictions and I am willing to take those funds on my current account to produce more money and a higher rate of return doing what I understand and know how to do. 

Thanks all. i am not a "handy man" but a useful person and like networking with anyone to produce a win win solution. currently I am helping a security system installation company expand there business from new down to GA and FL. i am currently looking for a 3 or 4 bed 2.5 bath w basement property with in my area. 

The lender needs to see the NOI and to calculate a DSCR for this property at this price with your downpayment.Consider producing a Proof of Funds document to verify the EMD and your downpayment.
