Newbie in Detroit looking to get started

[Richi Brown]

Hello my BP community,

I am a newbie investor in the Metro Detroit area and I am ready to dive into my markets real estate community! I started listening to the BP Podcast back in December and its been very enlightening. In addition to the podcasts Ive been trying to read as many real estate and business books as my time has allowed. I started with the high mentioned ones on the show like: Rich Dad Poor Dad, Richest Man In Babylon, How To Invest in Real Estate by Josh and Brandon, and I just finished David Greene's BRRRR book.

My game plan was to spend the year of 2020 learning and researching real estate. Figuring out the basics, what I need to do to get a good start in the industry, learning tactics, lingo, markets etc. and purchase my first home/investment property upon the completion of my lease next January in 2021. I have gotten to the point where I am familiar with common terms and I think I have grasped the basics, now I want to get more hands on.

I am looking to connect with people I can help in anyway possible. Whether it is an extra hand to assist in handyman work, aiding in putting together/hosting a meetup in the Detroit area, a second set of eyes to run through numbers for you etc.. I am new to the industry but I want exposure and experience, and if you have anything that and feel we can help each other then please reply to this post or message me!

Also if you have any other good bits of advice, books that I should look into, etc. then I am all ears! Any information is good!

Hello Richi,

I am a California Investor looking to invest in the Detroit area on a long-distance BRRRR. I understand you are new to investing, while I am new to the Detroit area. Possibly we can help each other out, as I am in California need someone who is boots on the ground. I plan on visiting the area at the end of the month and attend a meet-up. Perhaps we can connect then. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
