Hello!
My name is Tyson and I have been living in the Grand Rapids metro area my whole life. As a recent graduate, I just got a "real" job and a good income. I'm looking for investments that will give me a handsome and steady return. And in light of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Richest Man in Babylon, I want my money to work for me. After discovering Bigger Pockets this year and listening to the podcasts of testimonies of ordinary people like me and hearing my relative's experiences in the field, I believe real estate is a sustainable and reliable vehicle for building wealth passively. I love my current career (an 8-5 job), so I want to eventually build a team that will evolve into a turn-key real estate syndication. My niche is serving college age renters that want to live close to bars and colleges downtown. I have big goals and a lot of passion about anything that I do. Let's connect if you are in the area!

Hello Tyson,
Welcome to Biggerpockets! This site has a great amount of resources for you to learn from. I am on a similar situation as you are and joined BP few months ago. In this short time, I have only grown more passion and respect to this industry. You are definitely in the right place.

I flip down in portage. I turn down deals because I don't have capital. If you want a good return we could partner where you fund the deal and I manage it.

Look for a 2 to 4 unit property. You can buy it with an fha mortgage which means a very small down payment. You have to live in one unit and can rent out the rest. After two years you can move out and do it again. Its a great way to get started and will help you build your team. Trying to jump into a syndicate as you first deal is not recommended. Start small and grow organically.
