Look for some of those to go in as an LP (limited partner) and learn and grow your knowledge, skills and investment money so you'll be ready for the next accredited deal. 

Perhaps someone else will be able to provide you with first-hand knowledge, but this link (and the links that it provides) may be a good place to start. 

Quote from @David Epstein: I everyone, I know this is an older thread, but I'm also now getting into properties in the Albany area and am in need of a CPA with real estate tax knowledge for advance planning.

I am not sure about the other markets but I would suggest looking up a Realtor from here and utilizing their knowledge to help you. 

Instead, you’re attacking a strawman and questioning the knowledge/character of others.

I can relate to where you’re coming from as I’m also new to real estate investing and actively working to build my knowledge and network.

Hi my name is Lina Truong and I just recently moved to Kyle, Texas from San Diego, I very opened to learn the ins and outs of starting from 0 to get knowledge and advise on buying a property for MTR.

I think it stems from the question asker not having enough information and knowledge to ask a good question.

That said, Detroit is very much a block-by-block city, so local knowledge is critical to avoid issues.If you’re serious about learning more, feel free to send me a DM.

I am still rather new in the investing world, but I know with enough base knowledge and liquid capital of course, I'd be willing to pursue it for sure.
