If you have questions I am happy to help.

@Ryan WasherHey Ryan, I’d also be interested in a meet-up thank you for volunteering to organize lmk when, where and if you need any help.

A community of growth oriented, abundance mindset, go-giver individuals with a BARE MINIMUM commitment to become financially free through real estate investing.We focus on providing education and building networks to help every member solve their cash-flow freedom equation, so they can have the time-freedom needed to follow their passions, make a lasting impact and even change the world!

I can share some of it with you and help guiding you through the process. 

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

It was off market, I paid a local bird dog $20k for helping to get it to the close and even including that $20k at market rate it met the 1% rule.Today my underwriting would not have a 1% ratio with 80% LTV as positive cash flow in class C.  

Try being an agent, your phone number is EVERYWHERE and you get targeted by a whole industry that wants to sell you the latest gimmick.Here is what helped me.I answer calls and when it's a telemarketer I will interrupt them and say very friendly (because I don't hate the poor person who gets paid to do this and coached to be ruthless): Hey, so glad you called, can you do me a big favor? 

If you are going to continue buying, you really want a lifelong mortgage advisor in your corner who will help structure loans in your best interest.

We have a few areas hotter than others which include West Village, East English Village, Corktown, Jefferson/Chalmers, The University District, Northend, Sugar Hill District/Medical Center, and others.If you want help navigating Detroit we would love to show you around and point you toward where the best deals are.
