I am looking to create content online to document my journey, educate others, and market.

Join local meetups or online groups (here on BiggerPockets, Meetup.com, other other local REIA are the good ones).

No matter the strategy so you can be ready in case anything happens where you lose your active income or a tenant moves out without notice whatever the case may be.

In Metro Detroit area, police will not remove these types of occupants (they are afraid of scamming landlord having police remove legal tenants), calling them a "civil matter" forcing landlord to start court eviction process.

I can help you find properties to invest in no matter the budget or exit plan.

In this instance the judgments (20+/-) are already issued, now its a matter of collecting while the individual continues with their training programs and buying loans.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Keep doing what you're doing with networking, and just keep showing up — in person or online.

I understand equity and cash-flow are related, but what I mean is that I don't need the cash flow right now as much as I'd like to build a strong portfolio that can cash flow even more later on.I've owned a single-family rental for 4 years, but on mulitple fronts I felt like I've done a poor job self-managing it, so this Fall I picked up the Turners' book on managing rentals and that's what led me here to Bigger Pockets online.

He practiced that well and his son is now one of the largest developers in the country, if not the world.The nice thing for investors is that there should be a 2-3 or maybe 4 year gap in major apartment developments coming online.
