County earned $75 grand on that one.

There are a few in my area that I keep an eye on to see how successful they might be and I’m always looking for properties with potential to be something grand.

They ended up costing me a few grand, so much wasted time, and the terms are not even close to what they initially told me.

A grand negative cash flow is not the issue.

Detroit espeically.. and in Texas to non english speakers I read years ago that the state of TX did a study of LO deals, largely done in the Rio Grande Valley, and they found that not a single person ended up owning the property they got.the LO for.

I would also recommend the RPOA meetings here in Grand Rapids.

A smaller valuation would mean less out of pocket to buy out your siblings and lower taxes, but it would also mean the lot rent is a much higher % of valuation.I can almost guarantee you can find properties in Grand Rapids that cashflow because I've found them all over the Midwest. 

because I was paying my bird-dogs vs having them pay me and just promise how someday, maybe just maybe they will bring the grand-slam of a deal and then I will be paying them oh-so much $$$$$ Seriously, from those buying into this I gotta understand how your mind works, no insult meant, I am genuinely intrigued and baffled because if it's a good deal you can go to any number of investors and get $, not a one will charge you for the opportunity to present them deal. 

Lived at Lafayette and Grant Ave, then at Fulton/Grand Ave.  

That could be thousands of dollars, and you might not even close, so they just wasted several grand for no reason.
