Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Mike Terry your post is confusing!

It got me thinking:In your opinion, what are the minimum requirements someone should meet before raising money from investors (beyond family and close friends)?

one of my clients that has a pretty big PM company.. had a unique way of doing this.He offered 50% of the first months rent or 500.00 minimum.. he would have 4 or 5 agents at the weekly meeting handout the list of vacants .. each of them would go place a sign in the yard and first come first served.. he found that potential tenants would call the first sign if no answer they called the next one until finally someone answered.. it worked pretty awesome for him. 

Once something meets your criteria, they can notify you and jump on the program to get it closed before things move around again.Cheers!

You'll meet a lot of other investors in the Cleveland area here. 

What drew me to Detroit initially was the potential for strong cash flow, but I’ve also seen appreciation in several of my properties as the city continues to improve.

After attending industry meet-ups and conferences, I learned that the fighting/disagreements between the Nelson Brothers (Patrick and Brian) had been ongoing for years.

Hey everybody, I've been listening to BP podcasts for a couple years now, and I'm excited to finally get in here and start accelerating my learning and meet some like-minded people. 

There's a breakfast meeting at Pop's Sunset Grill in Nokomis every Tuesday at 8am.

You should come to one of the Lynchburg meet ups, the next one we are touring a flip.
