I like to buy single family homes in Detroit I can easily understand a street or block (as far as safety, culture, demographics) better than I can for multi-family in Detroit.

After that I believe it’s all about culture.

I favor small town over the "Culture" of a big city any day haha.I see @Llewelyn A.'

@Matthew Irish-Jones My intention was to use RE brokerage to get more familiar with investing.

@Matthew Irish-Jones as far as I can tell, the Inbox search function only searches in the titles of messages, it won't search for sender name or in the content of the messages.

@Matthew Irish-JonesWhere would be the best place to find a investor-friendly realtor?

I also agree with @Matthew Irish-Jones, if you haven't read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene you should put it on the top of your list.

Originally posted by @Matthew Irish-Jones:@Viktoria Barrett it will cost you an MLS subscription, a local Realtor association due, and possibly an eKey monthly fee depending on what brokerage you join.The classes to get your Realtor license are a good way to learn about the industry. 

With just a couple of special exceptions, I use cultured marble and Formica w/a rounded edge everywhere.

I cant thank you enough for your advice and now see the culture that BP has brought that we can all succeed together.
