I am a long time podcast listener and lurker, but I have a serious question now as I am helping a friend with decided what to do with a house he has in Oak Park Michigan.

Assuming it was a bluff i went a little higher (about my max) and sure enough another buyer won.I found out a year later when it was related, the wife of the flipper was also an agent and I believe might have worked for the same company as the listing agent.

I am focusing on the Metro Detroit area (Westland, Southfield, Livonia, Oak Park, Warren etc.):- Plumbers- Electricians- Carpenters- CPA- Real Estate Attorney- Handyman- Appliance repair person- Property Managers- Home cleaning companies (To clean property when tenants leave)

We have many friends that live in the E Bay (OAK and Alameda), work in SF and totally love it so I'd also recommend considering that.
