Opening a new market for me, Grand Rapids MI

[Jeffrey Holst]

Hello,

I am originally from Grand Rapids MI, I invest primarily in Tennessee and Metro Detroit but I often find myself back in Grand Rapids, Hudsonville, Jenison etc.  I have been considering expanding my investing footprint back to my old home area.  I will be in town this weekend and Monday and I am interested in making some new connections in local real estate.  Not sure Ill have time to meet up with anyone this trip but I am in the area 5-6 times a year.  I invest in many different property classes,  I currently own or partner on single families, duplexes, a few apartment buildings (12, 19, and 32 units) and am under contract to buy a 12K sq Ft office building, and a 30K sq Ft strip mall.  

I am particularly interested in forming banking and broker relationships but love talking real estate so I am happy to meet just about anyone in the BIz.

Hi Jeffrey and Dan,

My wife and I currently live in Hudsonville and are a young couple that are looking to get into bigger multi-units in this area. Currently we have managed to obtain a 4 unit and 3 SFH and are looking to possibly do a 1031 exchange into a bigger multi unit or possibly use HELOC $ to work a bigger multi-unit complex deal. Any chance that I could join you two gentlemen in this meet up and be a fly on the wall? I am eager to learn as much as I can about multi-unit complexes, especially around my hometown area of Hudsonville, Jenison, Allendale, and Zeeland. Also Jeffrey, I like the idea of commercial property, as my wife is talking about opening up her own practice and will need office space. So we are also in the market for a multi unit office space as well.

Thanks,

David
