Hi Casey,I would recommend looking into buying right in the City of Detroit and not necessarily the suburban areas.

He’s not a pushy salesman, and I’ve got a business partner who has worked with him for the last 10 years without any issues.As for your situation, I wouldn’t say it sounds like a Ponzi scheme, but I’d strongly recommend meeting with the fund sponsor in person and asking as many questions as you can.

I would recommend starting in your backyard and hone your skills if its possible, I know some markets have an extreme HCOL which may make it unfavorable in your case.

@John Lasher if you want to focus on MF, especially in the North Florida markets, I highly recommend you speak to Beau Beery.

Would definitely recommend finding a partner who can help walk you through this if you decide to move ahead. 

Hi Ricky,I always recommend that people create their own model.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Any recommendations on who can do the reno? 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As @Nathan Gesner recommended, it's a bit early to worry about this!
