I'm still active in the Detroit market.

Hello,I am a new real estate investor based in Troy, Michigan, actively seeking potential cash buyers and seasoned wholesalers in the Metropolitan Area.

Aside from this any recommendation about groups that  should join or actively participate to maximize my reach?

We run the calculator on multiple properties each week even if we are not actively looking . . . keeps us in tune with the market and you never know when a deal will appear.  

In my area it is common for landlords to pay for heat which promotes a lot of abuse with the system in that tenants keep the heat at unreasonably high temperatures and often open the windows in the dead of winter when it can be -20 out.

So you don't need to work in real estate.The question remains, how do you want to generate active income? 

There is no downside, besides more activity on your listing, which means more calls and lots of potential upside.

You'll need to speak with a banker about getting a second active VA loan.

@Laura Ozols  Im considering the Hero loan only because I intend to pay off the balance in full before the 18 month promotional period expires.  

Every 5 years there will be a legitimate strategy that gets promoted as the newest "Get rich tomorrow" BS that gets overhyped by the sharks.
