A $77,000 mortgage and a $500,000 mortgage require roughly the same amount of processing, underwriting, and closing work. But only one generates enough revenue to keep a loan officer’s pipeline economically viable. That gap, between the labor a small loan demands and the compensation it produces, is one of the less-discussed structural barriers to homeownership ...

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.
