Between growing our business into one of the largest STR management companies in South Jersey, building our personal portfolio, and starting a family, my time for forums and reading on platforms like BiggerPockets fell by the wayside.But I’m ready to get back into it—sharing, learning, and connecting with this amazing community.

I'm looking for someone with personal experience dealing with a wholesaler friendly title company in Alabama.If you know any, please let me know.

Personal background: Married with no kids, 100% debt free, live a rather tame lifestyle and don't spend large amounts of money, two newer vehicles (2020 & 2024) so no vehicle purchases expected for the next 10 years. 

Your goals seem to balance future personal use with investment potential.

Nothing against Royse City, its a matter of strategy, but personally I er on the side of better schools.

I've been investing there personally since 2019 and own 12-doors in Detroit proper.I lived on the ground there from 2017-2022 but now live back in California.To answer your questions... yes, you can still find cash flowing deals in Detroit.

Maybe have a decent sized pool of cash to take care of the occasional roof repair or personal expense, but almost entirely in real estate?

We have a pool of firms we've already met in-person and with whom we've done some site walk-throughs.

Personally, I’d be hesitant to take out the full $200k right away since that could put a lot of pressure on your finances.
