It's the second Wed of every month, a small group of people and variety of investor experience levels.

Sadly, on BiggerPockets, some are quick to label companies as scams without real experience.

have you had this experience? 

How has your experience been so far with out-of-state investing?

My name is Jamison Shaw, I am licensed general contractor with over 15 years experience in residential and light commercial construction.

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity. 

I'm a Michigan native looking to move back to start my portfolio but I haven't really spent too much time in Detroit and would love to hear people's experiences.

I very well could have done it the wrong way, but this was just my experience.

Sounds like you’ve got some solid experience under your belt.

Most times, the top of a brokers list are those with experience who they've worked with in the past.
