Before you try to pretend only fools invest in real estate in Michigan, Google: “Dan Gilbert” (owner of Quicken Loans the 2nd largest mortgage company in the US) (owner of Cleveland Cavaliers /LeBron James) in the past 3 ½ years he has bought more than 60 of the downtown Detroit High rises.

When I bought the first houses up here, I used to walk among the sky scrapers and look up and hope I could buy and remodel just one. But what is a guy supposed to do when you start with $150.00?

My only complaint is Detroit is coming back way too fast.

I offered to send you proof by PM but I think you need to accept my Colleague invitation before it will let me PM you.  I obviously don't want to post addresses and such on the public forum.  I'm trusting you to come back on here and say yeah he proved it.  I also emailed you to the email listed in your signature but you have not responded.

You have not read my "guru pitchfest" multiple times I am actually trying to hush up the opportunities here as my only complaint is Detroit area is coming back way too fast.

The inspections up here are used as a major source of revenue by the smaller cities.

I only have my $.01 to offer but I think real estate in most areas is going to go up dramatically in the next 3 years so I would not take the advice to wait.

$50,000 would be a good start in most markets in my market it would buy you a quite a lot.

I see he has his strategy in his signature

Business Plan: Start, Fail, Learn, Succeed, Repeat...

I can guess by his attitude what step he is on.... maybe the step he lists as second "Fail"

When I started this conversation I had about a total of 4 posts on this website in the past 6 months.  So sorry it took me 33 minutes

                                                             ENOUGH SAID!!!!

I don't want to Hi-jack the OP thread but you are making a lot of assumptions.

I started with $150 not $150,000

 I tried for 30 minutes to post a picture of my house with the caption: ENOUGH SAID! but I cant figure out how to do it so instead I sent you a private message offering to document everything I said.  Do you also want me to prove the house I bought for $801 and have not yet spent even $1 on fixing it up but it is rented for $650 per month? 

Sounds good...

And your strategy is...

 I actually enjoy running the snow blower on my 160 ft long driveway at my 4727 Sq ft house that I bought for $16,000 that is worth today about $250,000. 

I cannot walk in the gate without thanking God for the house I bought sight unseen sitting at a computer in CA having never been to this area in my life.
