There are a lot of really good people in the Memphis real estate community, and plenty of people will help.  

Hope I can connect with experienced and new investors, lenders, real state agents and property managers. 

Or if you need to hire a kid to stand out in front of their office warning their clients that they’re losing tax forms and not telling people. 

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

There is an incredible amount of points to consider when weighing the options on something like this and honestly, I don't recommend it to very many people at all ....even seasoned tradesmen and investors.

@Travis Biziorek we've been on the same page about that forever:)Seems we both want people investing the RIGHT way in Detroit, so they brgin family & friends!

And, for those people who have more time than money, they can put in sweat equity into directly owned real estate.

Most people who complain about Airdna overestimating their revenue think you can just list your house on Airbnb and profits will pour in (South Park understood this fallacy best). 

I'd be happy to connect further regarding your questions about more specific and nuanced details. 

I'm California-based where there aren't any real deals in my area, so I'm exploring Detroit as an alternative real estate investment market - due to the combination of it being a strong market and my having connections in the area.
