Hi Tracy,

This is probably the best group meeting you might be looking for. Maybe I'll see you there 9/22. Good luck!

@Adam Cole I do have five SFHs in Pontiac and I'm still new to being a real estate investor. My experience has been great so far and would recommend this area to anyone. However, I have not purchased anything in the 48362 area code.

I think other feedback provided as been spot on. Good luck!

@Corey Kennedy welcome! I'm still fairly new but I do have five SFR Rentals in Pontiac while living in Lake Orion. I'd be happy to connect if you'd like. Good luck!

@Tim Clayton I'm also in Lake Orion. No references for you - sorry. Wasn't sure if you want to connect? I have five long-term rentals in Pontiac currently (actively looking for our sixth). I'm also looking for contractors with specific skill sets as follows in you or anyone else has some:

Plumber

Drywall

Landscaping

Thanks!

@Joe Donlevy while I'm no expert, I think the SEV is typically half the actual value of the house. I'm also a huge fan of being conservative with numbers. I'd probably estimate taxes around $6,000 then and contact a local realtor to verify.

I always suggest Jeff Todd with Keller Williams. I'm guessing you probably have someone though since you're out of state. Best of luck!!

@Joe Donlevy what city are you looking in? I live in Lake Orion and invest in Pontiac. Regardless, $12,000 seems ridiculously high for a $150,000 purchase.

@David Blodgett congratulations on the decision to move forward with real estate! I'm relatively newer with five properties in Pontiac. Based on my experience so far, I have several recommendations for you but I'll start with an agent since that's what you asked for.

Jeff Todd with Keller Williams in Rochester. He's been a realtor in Oakland County for 30 years.

Good luck!

@Cara Connor welcome! I focus on buying long term SFR and multi-family properties in Oakland County only. I currently focus on Pontiac but I'm interested in anything North of 9 Mile and East of Telegraph (Waterford can be included).

Please let me know if you'd be interested in a virtual call to get to know each other a little better. Good luck!!

Hey Scott,

I'm still acquiring properties in Pontiac, MI but everything's starting to pickup with the lack of inventory. I can't speak to Detroit but houses that sold for $50-$70k two years ago are now close to $100k. Deals can still be found but it requires a little more effort and networking. Good luck!
