@Sunny Suh Great progress, please let me know if you organize a JC meetup

Of course you wouldn't be able to function as a RE Agent in Detroit with a CA license.But you would still have to disclose your license on any purchases you did up here.What brings you to Detroit area?

Have multiple organizations that would take open space with us. 

Amongst other things, your management company should be responsible for: Liaising with your tenant Ensuring they pay on time Organizing any repairs necessary Communicating with you on a regular basis Paying you the balance of your rent Providing monthly statements Placing new tenants.A professional who manages your portfolio and your tenants well over a number of years is worth his or her weight in gold.

@Griselle Monzon, the only other local meetup that I am aware of is one that has been organized by Bigger Pockets members.

Nasty landscaping, poor dumpster placement, parking that is poorly organized are a few things that may be easy to remedy and change the perception of the property. 

MIG is a great organization. 

Congrats, such deals with Tax Deeds are really common, and can get even better with Community Development Housing Organization that, have been designated by the I.R.S. as a 501(C) 3.  

If so, what functions do they facilitate that someone couldn't without them?

If you use the search function on here there are a ton of other posts about the online auction companies.
