Do not try to be an innovator in Detroit or anywhere else.  

I'm looking at a 4plex that is scheduled to be auctioned by a Trustee in Nov.

My dilemma is: I need to invest relatively soon, and saving probably won't cut it so I have to get innovative to grow capital exponentially. 

I have not invested in Globe, but I have look at deals there, but I have invested in Nogales, Florence and Douglas which are very desert, small towns, when I drop $450k in Douglas my partners taught I was crazy, buying a 12 units, well I was crazy happy that I was Cash flowing great money and now just sold it, so I bought in Nov 2011 $450k sold in March 2016 $670k which made me a bit happy, never put a penny into it either. ( my partners now call me desert king and I like the term )  

Nothing really innovative or earth shattering.  

I'd like to suggest a book to you, maybe you've heard of it before – it's called The Innovators Dilemma by Clayton Christensen.
