Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

As a realtor who works closely with both short-term and long-term rental investors, I’d love to be a resource for you while you’re in town.Having spent my entire life here, I know the city inside and out (Indianapolis) , from neighborhoods with strong rental demand to up-and-coming areas that offer excellent long-term growth potential.

I work with these two:Metro Detroit Property Management - Mark HutterNHL Property management - Howard GenserThere are a tonne of companies and each one has had good and bad experiences, so no one in particular stands out.One part of the equation is that the Detroit market itself is a tough place and is not for the novice investors.Only seasoned and large volume Investors make it successful in Detroit.

If something has only a 1 in 2 chance of occurring but returns 10x if it occurs, that is typically a good investment.My last purchase (not the one I am currently under contract but last purchase) was large negative cash flow at aquisition.  

I would try to buy properties starting at a specific date so not large ticket items come up.
