Matilda is named after my Grandmother's Aunt Mattie. 

Hi my name is Matt, I am brand new to real estate investing and already have fallen in love with it.

Matt,Good Morning Matt, I hate jumping in on threads like this, but I probably dislike bad or misinformation worse!  

Sorry Matt, I just took your first response to be that I was kind of crushing your dreams with all my negatives.

Thank you, Matt. I

Hey Matt, I live in Portage right now, have an office in GR, invest in Detroit, Battle Creek, Muskegon, Grand Rapids & Kzoo...I attend REI meetings in Portage & GR when I can, and I'm running my own meetups in GR...this Tuesday June 23rd there will be a (Kalamazoo Area Rental Housing Association West Michigan) KARHA meeting at Theo & Stacy's, Portage Road (just off 94) starting at 6pm...you can see the website at Karha.com, The topic this Tuesday is Land Bank and upcoming Tax Auction with the Kzoo County Treasurer...when you join the RPOA or Rental Property Owners Association, https://rpoaonline.org/, I believe that includes the membership with KARHA..like $90/yrit is about an hr away from you, but I think it's totally worth it if you can attend, every month there is something different to learn and more investors to meetup with. 

Matt is excellent and has years of experience doing this. 

Hi Matt I work in the Charlotte area and would love to connect!
