@Rick VanRyckeghm Well hello there! Good job your self.

@Account Closed I Will be sending you a message then lol

@John Rogers Well Well look at that there is one 15 miles from me! John if you got time? any chance you could either message me or respond on here about what a REIA is exactly ? Is it just a meeting place where people get together and talk?

@Jonathan Harris Thank you ! Yes i will keep that in mind thank you!

@David Rawls Trust me I believe you on that! Well I appreciate the help! Will keep in contact for sure! 

Thank you everyone means a lot!

@Derrick Lu Honestly my entire family does rentals and I know that I don't wan't to be forced to get up and work.

@Jack Hatton When my grandfather passed he left me around $23,000.00 and I used that money on the down payment of the first Single Family Home. Even with this huge down payment the banks still did not wan't to give me a loan. I had no credit at this time. The only reason that I was able to get the loan was that my Mom Cosigned for the loan. 

@Aaron Jones Honestly you will have a hard time, But don't let that stop you from moving forward. You need to get your credit score up first!

@Jeff F. Of course I will be wanting to get another rental! I need about 8 months to be able to get the financing and refinance on one of the rentals to be able to get another one. I am attending college in Troy MI, I am doing the rentals for passive income.

@Jake Thomas Trust me I did! thank you very much!

@Nick Thomas thank you. Angie's list did not even come to my mind. 

@John Rogers Very new at this whole idea and just became a Bigger Pockets Member not to long ago. Is there a way to find out if I have a local REIA around me?

Good afternoon everyone. I am currently living in the Capac area. At 18 I have two single family homes, And hopefully if everything goes right another one by 2/1/17 around that time frame. I need to know how to find some contractors any suggestions? The next house I do I would like to find a Fix er Uper, and I do not know how to do everything my self. Thanks for the help.

@Cory Mccarthy yes you understand correctly. Currently 18, and Yes. Well they are not paid off free and clear but I am working them down! I can only thank my Parents for being well off and being able to co-sign the loans for me without them none of this would have been possible. I could not hardly get a Mendards credit card, but i had two house loans in my name. It is a great start! but hey got to start young right! 

Thank you everyone, after i purchased my second single family, the loan officer that we use told me about bigger pockets and started listening to the podcasts . Ever since then I have been hooked. Started from number one and I believe I'm on 49! 

@Pat West North of i69 and east of m53 if that helps. Where are you from?

@Ayodeji Kuponiyi oh trust me I am, I'm looking at investing as just passive income. I'm going to college but I don't want to be forced to get up in the morning and work. I am on episode 49 of the podcasts started from one.

@David Rawls well small word! I graduated from Brown city. I see you are in Sterling heights. I work around that area. That area to invest in is a little out of my price range! 

Thanks everyone for the welcomes !

I personally, now remind you I am only 18. I have two rental, single family homes. I was given some advice that putting each property in to a separate LLC is much easier and a safer way to go. Is it true they can only go after what is in that LLC.Thanks for the help

Good afternoon Justin. we are close but not to close. I am currently 18! I am also new but I currently have two single family rentals. in the Lapeer county area. Down town areas are just two much for me!!
