Mainly focused on commercial development, brokerage and related opportunities in Southeast Michigan.

Here is my case for rent appreciation: 1) supply and demand: The vacancy rate is low 2) Cost of new construction will guarantee that the supply/demand issue cannot be addressed in short time frame.   3) Minimum rage increases.  4) Minimum area to build: even if the cost of new construction was not so high we are constrained on the North, west, and South.  East

If anyone in RI or south east MA wants to connect or meet up, i'm down! 

I currently own a property in South East Florida that has 2 assessments, i bought with the intention of holding short term.

20 units with rental income of $200 each, and a down payment on my island in South East Asia.

No state income tax in Texas, we downsized our home a few years back, we made all of the decisions with early retirement in mind.I travelled for my job for several years, back and forth to Southeast Asia many times, so we decided to stockpile our miles for retirement. 

I'm a hospitalist(look it up.I promise it's an actual job).When I finished training,I knew I'd end up bored to death by waking up everyday working in the same small office.I loved traveling and mixing it up way too much to be tied down to routine.So I quickly became a locum and now work all across Georgia and Florida when I want.That does two things:I make my own schedule,choose my own hours and can view properties while I'm on assignment.It's semi retirement because I block out an entire month if I feel like it.I was in south east Asia all of December and will be in Russia most of June.I don't have 1000 doors.Far from it.I'm like you.Just a dozen or so doors.For now.But BiggerPockets is the reason I'm able to live this way.I wasn't born that way.Nice reading everyone's stories

Still cheap houses on the South/East sides

Travel in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America are amazing and super inexpensive.

Currently buying MF in the South East.
