Metro Detroit remains one of the few major metropolitan areas where an investor can acquire a property for under $100,000, put in rehab work, and still generate positive cash flow. That affordability continues to attract capital from across the country, but financing these deals and structuring them to survive a missed assumption requires more nuance ...
