But, I've started looking in Ocala and am working with a realtor in that area whose from that area.I found out there are a lot of well/septic areas, something that I am not akin to and really don't want to get in to for investing.I'm looking for rentals as suggested in the SW/SE areas.

BP, Members....Any suggestion on what rental property Insurance company to go for (duplex)And someone doing good job on....Painting, Flooring, Cleaning in Grand Rapids, Michigan (SE)Thanks

Is it in SE or NW?

We are planning on buying a condo or townhome in SE aurora and eventually renting that out when we can afford to buy a bigger place.

Drew,My wife and I are relatively new investors in the SE Michigan area and have two condos that we are renting successfully.

I have a guy I would like to use for a few projects on my current rehab...he cut the grass the other day and wants to tear down a screen porch...I can se using him for quite a few things going forward because he does good work.

We currently have to belong to two MLS's here in SE MI, it's ridiculous, I probably have almost 3K in fee's in michigan.Don't forget when the tax man comes knocking for his 1099 income on what you "made" from your commissions.

Since then an identicle house has been sold for full asking price of 125,000 so I now am thinking of listing mine for 128,000 and offering 3,000 to closing and se where it goes.

ButI’m not sure that these people are Investors per se.

Yes, it's scalable.You ought to study how the note business work so you understand how quickly existing loans amortize, even though you are buying buying a mite, per se.
