Why do I need to tell people where to go and eat when they have Google and Yelp?

Looking forward to meeting likeminded people :) 

The credit committee is usually made up of local people who are familiar with the market they are in.

They likely know people in the area, and then they might feel that you are trying all avenues to find the next tenant.

The entire agent model would perish because most of the time off-market listings are new leads that need to be prepared before hitting the market.

Hey @Augusta Owens Bigger Pockets has been so valuable to me in my own journey, so you are in the right place.Ive been hosting an investor meetup the past 3 years and it's been a great place to collaborate with the like minded individuals and collaborate. 15-25 people show up each month and range from new investors to people,e who have been investing for decades.would love to connect and get you some more information! 

They may not be able to use financing contingencies and may have to show proof of funds equal to the acquisition price but the money that hits the sellers bank account is the same whether its "cash" or a financed transaction.

@Adedayo Adetunji people that break into a property & occupy it are called "squatters".On September 24, 2014, three new Michigan Statutes went into effect to make squatting a crime and give landlords more options to remove them (see Michigan HB 5069/PA223, HB 5070/PA224, HB 5071/PA225).

Some months I’ve unfortunately had to pay like $150 out of pocket but I’m Planning on holding long term wise and the let the rental bare fruit later in my life because I’m only 22 and just wanted a base hit or a rental in a great neighborhood.
