I am in SE Michigan, looking for buy and holds primarily in Washtenaw and Wayne counties.Kelly

If anyone is or knows of a broker that would be a good match in the Twin Cities SE metro area, I would love to talk to them.

So there's no one book per se, but definitely One at a Time kind of thing.

He does not need to know your plans for the property per se. 

Him replying yes would be the easiest route for me but probably the less likely, this owner put up a fight with the bank during the foreclosure based on the court documents I reviewed, he never hired a lawyer thought, he did it as a Pro Se so I’m pretty sure he is familiar with the system.

@Mat O'Grady hosts one in SE CT.

W2 is lender favorite but 2+ years SE can work.Don't want a W2, but are in school. 

I do a little work at the county and it looks like this could be brought into the urban growth boundary.. so I think well I will try to swap her the house for the lot.. and just hold the lot for years to come until something happens .. give her an easement for the septic system.. then i dont have to do an ugly eviction. ( her kids by the way made her put debt on the home then blew the money this is quite common in this scenario)I made her go to her attorney ( most wholesalers about now are cringing I am sure) but we came to a price of 250k for the lot.. so I needed to cut her another check for 125k cash and would deed her the home and I would end up with 4 acres to land bank.. ( anyone who knows me knows cash flow is ok for me but I dont need it per se made way more money in appreciation )...

BP is a great forum--some local Meetups are Brew City REI (which we help run), Milwaukee REIA, Apartment Association of SE WI.

If this was in NYC, I would have done a pro se case in court myself.
