If you’re in the Detroit area and looking to buy, sell, or simply connect, I’d love to chat!

Are you agent yourself and what makes you say that you'll avoid buying a home under 1000 sqaure feet again? 

Now, I’m rebuilding my portfolio while continuing to help others buy and sell homes.

Many times a lender buys a property back at a sheriff's sale/auction where they are selling properties as part of a foreclosure.

I am glad you highlighted the management piece as this is a crucial part of buying in another market.Excited that you are stabilized and are generating cash flow on that deal. 

If you’re serious about buying properties and doing real estate, then I would suggest working with the CPA that understands real estate even if the services cost more than your average H&R Block or some TurboTax program you can buy.

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

And there are no counties that ban out of state investors buying investment properties.
