I Buy & Hold in Grand Rapids, Michigan

[Andy W.]

Hello!

Long-time-procrastinator; first-time-investor.

Since August 2015, I've purchased two investment properties in Grand Rapids, MI:

• Single family (3 bed / 2 bath) in East Hills
• Two-family (2+1.5 up / 3+1 down) in Creston

Both needed some work, but now the single family is available and the two-family is half-rented, so I'm getting there!

I'm quite handy, so I've done most of the fixing up myself. I realize that's not sustainable when building a large property portfolio, but for now I'm enjoying getting my hands dirty, and hoping to have positive cash flow by the end of the month!
