Agent needed to buy investment property

b p answered:
yes - you can certainly buy "dirt cheap" in detroit (that's the market I know, vs the Buffalo area) these days, eg, for as little as $500 -but, like everything else, you get what you pay for
obviously, a $500 house will need a lot of work, more than several thousand, to get it livable...vs a house for, say, $15,000, which might be in move-in condition, short of carpeting and a paint job, for instance

maybe, instead, target how much you want to invest in total per property, than I can show you duplexes that are either rentable now, or need little work to stay in that budget

what size apts are you looking for? what rent are you targeting?
give me some answers so I can help you move forward

b p answered:
how many properties are you talking about? how much in value? what loan amount are you looking for? do you have current / solid appraisals?
do you want a blanket loan, or individual mortgages? are the props owned free and clear now? what - condition are they in livable - or needing some work?
are they rented? what is the cash flow like? what is the mid-fico?
are they owned personally, or in an llc/ corp?
let me know - I have sources for this - but you're probably looking at hard money for n/o/o props in detroit these days

b p answered:
way too many questions to give an answer, yet, but I have sources for this when I get a better understanding:
why go hard money at all? what do you mean by "well-supported" by the city - financially, or just politically?
where is the other $5MM coming from for the $10MM phase 1 = construction??
how long do you see the need to use the money?
is the land owned by the developer? any liens on the propeprty?
dos the property need infrastructure - or is it in the city, ready for construction?
status of building permits? what type of housing?
where is the equity coming from? - how much?
where's the take-out coming from to pay-off the hm lender?
let me know so I can help you
