The owner (politely, but firmly) asked the agent to leave.

Buying Location is going to depend on your desired balance of ROI and Maintenance.

There are a lot of properties in less desirable areas that I could get into and some in gold areas that don't offer as much ability for forced equity or roi.

Account Closed I went with a design-build firm to do a complete renovation plus addition.

If you need a top notch design-build firm then Scalish Construction or Bennett Builders.

Then, transfer the desired lot to personal use.

@Michael FriasI have actually done this not in Detroit specifically, but 35+ wholesales without ever seeing the property, it was while working for a real estate investing company, under an experienced investor who had more than 10 years experience investing, 10-15 VA's that I managed, and a bunch of systems that made this possible... even still it's not the best way to do wholesaling at all, and it wasn't my desired route but it worked at the time.The specifics as to why it won't work:You need to be experienced to wholesale properly.

It's incredibly shortsighted to depend on the government to fulfill their side of that bargain.I absolutely believe that student loan debt combined with millennial behavior in general (less desire to settle in one place permanently, more job-hopping, greater focus on experiences rather than material possessions) will impact the housing market.

Yes, they are better, but rehab the ones in the other less desirable areas nicely (and cost effectively) and you'll easily rent a 2 or 3 bed for $800-$1100 in the other C neighborhoods.

I have not seen it other than pictures because he said the seller was pretty firm on price.
