I truly enjoy the diverse sets of experiences, learning from failures and successes online, and different ways to approach a decision.                                                                               

Also the main big box store changed their policy in my area recently and they won't deliver if nobody is home so it's challenging to schedule delivery around a tenants schedule especially because they give a 3 hour time window and sometimes deliver at a completely different time.

It's way more challenging to get the numbers to work at higher price points.

There is rampant neglect and mismanagement in the industry, and it makes it difficult to stay on top of the situation remotely, as the investor has approached the situation with the ideal of being more "passive". 

Wasted resources in the wrong approach.3.  

Challenges?

I’m asking because, at least in the Mayan Riviera, that can be quite challenging or unlikely, though it really depends on how much financing you’ll need.As @Mike Lambert mentioned, it’s also quite challenging to find a truly good real estate professional in the area.

@Jonathon Cornell also going to challenge you on your statement that there's nothing in your area.How did you find your current home?

The most logical approach is to pick the Neighborhood(s) that meet your BuyBox (Class A, B, C or D) and then look for properties, having someone knowledgeable about Detroit verify the properties you've selected are on good blocks.
