This subject came up because getting witness signatures on digitally signed lease documents isn't easy.

It used to be that the last 2 digits of the bid confirmation was the number bid you were...but they changed that and now there is now way to know how many other bids there are.

If you were one digit off, a seller would be routed to the wrong number, and this will result in you not getting any calls. 

I actually use the app Digit to help me out.

We've seen lots of investors achieve FIRE in Metro Detroit, hence the name ;)Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1200-$1500ROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $250-$350/doorAppreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)Location: C+, B- (suburbs and certain markets)We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties.

There is a plethora of online resources – courses, webinars, YouTube videos, podcasts but the one thing that cannot be “taught” digitally is a genuine human connection.

I recently did 2 jumbo (7 digit), multiplex, 30 year, non OO, cash out refi loans at less than 3.5%.  

Today, I have 2 unsecured credit cards with 5 digit limits, not to mention the business lines of credit that I opened for the real estate biz.

But, if you do buy the books, you can get also get them here:BP & J Scott BooksBiggerPockets published them,and if you buy them from this site, you get the PDFs of each book included (or you can just buy the PDFs if you don't want the physical books), and you also get a bunch of other digital goodies in the package.

Now that being said my houses I own personally are all returning at least double digit returns, but I wouldn't consider buying a property here if it was only going to return 3-5% I'd rather buy a big screen tv :)
