New Real Estate Investor in Metro Detroit (Michigan) Area

[Tyler Dennison]

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I are starting our journey in real estate investing.  We are reading some books and listening to some podcasts from BP and trying guzzle all the information we can get on the topic of buying homes for a rental income.  My family has a combined 80 years in real estate sales and her family has a combined 80 years in new home construction and contracting, so we are trying to tap our families for knowledge as well.  We have started to analyze some properties and build some contacts with local realtors here and hopefully by the end of the year will have our first property.  I would like to move faster but the market here is way overheated and finding the right deal could take some time and effort.  I am looking forward to talking and learning from the members here on the site and progressing my real estate investment career.  I am sure I will have be asking for some basic stuff shortly, like recommendations on good contractors locally for rehab work and realtors who are good to work with.  Please ask me any questions you like.
