I am a new member looking to invest in buy and hold residential real estate and small apartments in the Grand Rapids MI metro area (primarily Wyoming, Grandville, and Byron Center).

When the inner workings of the economy change so rapidly, much like the game of musical chairs, there are many participants who are left without a chair when the music stops.In this new economy that we are in the midst of, which monster corporations will suffer their fate next?

By doing this I can take the equity out tax free and use it to purchase another property and continue to rapidly expand my portfolio.

I work for a mining company that is starting a major project here, so the local economy could potentially increase rather rapidly.

I am in Grand Rapids Michigan just about to jump into mobile home investing.

Got a great deal on this place, and going to do well when I sale it in the next few months.Right now I am running my roofing business (which I have done for nearly all my working life) and rapidly moving my way into the fix and flip family of investors.

The property is in a nice neighborhood with a lake view so I would imagine it appreciates more rapidly (not that I ever intend to sell)If this helps, here is some other info:I have about 50k in stocks right now that I could sell if i needed to (i'd rather not)I make 90k a year at my jobAm I over my head on this one?

Looking for a investor-friendly GC in Grand Rapids, MI area for flips.

I see Oak Park just starting to appreciate rapidly like Ferndale.

I get so risk adverse sometimes and in the DC market things fluctuate so rapidly I tend to bog myself down with numbers.
