With the ultra competitive and high entry costs of Southern California, I've decided to use some of my contacts in southeast Michigan to help me start investing there.

@Ryan Kopczyk at Southeast Professional Title is the only title agent you should use for your deals around Orlando.  

Some markets here in the southeast have small apartments - 10 Units + where you can probably use 100K as a down payment to purchase.

The other reason is because it's a block from the projects (this is on the southeast edge of Bed-Stuy) and the area has one of the highest crime rates in the city. 

He has not said what he will take for his modular home on 5 acres in southeast El Paso County (saying he doesn't want to "bid against himself"), but he has shown interest in working with us, having called and emailed a few times.

I am a student at the University of Nebraska and I am interested in buy and hold investing.

I would suggest posting in the Nebraska forum to see if any local people have some recommendations for you. 

As for Zillow, I am sales director of a real estate firm owned by the largest construction lender in the southeast, therefore we deal with most of the preconstruction financing and dealing with a good source of investors.

In Nebraska they are called real estate taxes on real houses,,,mobile homes pay personal property taxes which is the same thing.

My goal is to grow my network in the Southeast Michigan area, learn as much about buy and hold plus flipping as possible, and become a contributing member here at BP.
