Hello.  I am looking for a referral for a contractor near Toledo, OH.  I'm looking to walk a property and learn how to do rehab evaluations.  Thank you in advance.

Hello! I am looking to connect with investors doing deals in Garden City, Dearborn or a neighboring city.

Hello Community.  I currently am living with my girlfriend in a home I just bought.  She currently makes half of the payments.  I am just wondering if there would be any tax advantages to claiming to the IRS that she is actually a tenant and pays rent?  Thank You!

Thank you all for your kind words, I am very excited to get started.

Hello Detroit-Area Community.  I have just moved near the southern border of Livonia a few months ago from Toledo Ohio and am eager to get started with investing in real estate.  At this time, I am primarily interested in learning the real estate wholesaling business.  

After reading many books I believe that I know the fundamentals but would love the chance to sit down and pick the mind of a seasoned investor and/or anyone that has ties to the wholesaling business.

I believe that my first hurdle to jump through is learning how to evaluate after repair values as well as repair costs.  I can potentially offer value by practicing this skill on deals of your own or by assisting with other areas of your business.

For now, I would like to limit my target areas to the Livonia/Westland area.

Hello community.  Does seller financing take the same form and use the same equations as a mortgage from a bank (referring to principal and interest monthly payments)?  Does a loan from a private lender also take this form? 

Hello Community! I just bought a single family home in the Westland MI area.  The basement of this home is about the same size as the first floor.  The basement has a bathroom with shower plumbing and an area that could easily be converted into a kitchen.  The home is in the Livonia school district and therefore may be very desirable. 

I want to live in this home while remodeling the basement and then immediately move in a tenant.  What steps should I take in order to ensure that this conversion can be done legally and effectively? 

Hello,  I am attending my first showing of a property today as an investor.  It is a duplex.  What are some important questions that I should ask the seller's agent about the property?  Thank you!

Thank you for the recommendations!

Hello Community!  In this post, please write about a unique method you have used or have heard about to finance a deal.  I'm sure there are a million methods that I am not aware of and I simply want to learn.  I am very much looking forward to everyone's input!

Thank You!
