Hi Natalie,

I would talk to someone from the auction site to confirm exactly what is being sold and then ask about the discrepancy. I have seen "online-only" auction sites that have "accidental errors" for listings that cause the listing to have a lot more interest then it would otherwise. For example, "accidentally" listed as 2200sf when it is really 1200sf.

Hope you get a deal. Good luck!

 Hi Jake,

Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

REIA of Oakland also has "sub groups" that meet on Saturdays. I'm a member and hope to see you at the meeting.

If you are looking for quality information on the Metro-Detroit area You should checkout @Drew Sygit's blog. For me, it has been one of the best sources of market information.

The new forum design doesn't make it easy to find so I put the link below.

I completed the pre-licensure class. Now I just need to pass the state exam. I'm told the state will take 30 days or more to process applications and give approval for the exam.

 There was a podcast episode With Pace Morby Episode 528, that you might find interesting. He does a lot of seller financing and "sub to".

Hi Richard. Thanks for the reply.

 Hi Barret, thanks for the reply.

I agree. Being a licensed contractor and a decent one are two different thing. At the end of the class I hope to be a licensed contractor. At the end of my project I hope to be a decent one. I failed to add this to my original post but my timeline for completion is 2 years after I start. Currently that is looking like March of 2024.

 You know what they say about free advice, it's worth what you paid for it.

If I have spent too much time on this thread then what does that say about how much time you have spent on it? Or why you are so determined to give advice to someone that you think doesn't want it?

I don't understand why you think I'm bringing my emotions into this? Are you interpreting my words as having emotion behind them? 

If you feel you are wasting your time you always have the choice of not posting.

I stand by my statement. Troll.

 Hi Craig. Thanks for the reply.

The test in Michigan consists of 50 questions in the business and law section and 110 questions in the Practice/Trades section. I too would need liability and comp insurance if I was starting a business. Thankfully, in Michigan I don't need those just to take the class/test. I agree practice makes perfect and YouTube can be a great source of knowledge.

 DING DING DING. I didn't post for advice. I wasn't looking for a pat on the back either. Again, I was just posting what I was doing, with the hope it might inspire someone else. If you can show me, where is my first post, I asked for advice I'll be more then happy to eat my words.

Now my question for you. Is this what you do for fun, troll newbies in the starting out forum?

 Well if you never intended to add value to this conversation why did you bother posting in the first place?
