To real estate or not to real estate..I'm a math major, so I think about numbers A LOT.

I’ve found weekly check-ins and a shared project tracker to be lifesavers, helping you spot delays before they become major issues.

My business partner owns a number of real estate properties he actively manages, however, the majority of his income comes from his other business.

A lot of my clients are seeing great success in C/C+ locations that are in the major areas of growth, so they get the mix of appreciation and cash flow. 

@Nathan Frost  Ironically, I did the majority of my real estate investing in Texas while living in Metro Detroit, and you are doing somewhat the reverse.I didn't want to get too negative, but suffice to say the City of Detroit* is a very tough market. 

As a major part of my work, I need to research properties, and then skip trace the homeowner to make contact.

The major damage was to 35 computer stations and various other electronic equipment, as well as buildouts, furnishings, etc.

The majority of Buyers search 3rd party listing services which also provide listing agent contact info.

Your major issue in the discussion. 

So, in my market the VAST majority of homes an investor will invest in are "older".
