Now my question is why in the world would people pay much more in rent when they could be with only a couple grand down and invest in there own property?

I am a business owner from Grand Rapids, MI with ~100 employees, and I have read several Robert Kiyossaki books, (increase your financial IQ, Cash flow Quadrant, Loopholes of Real estate and a couple more)  I am just recently diving in head first on real estate investing.  

Hello everyone,I am currently seeking recommendations for a realtor/property manager in the Grand Rapids area.  

There are often times I wondered whether my whole experience in the last 6 years was just one grand lesson sponsored by the School of Hard Knocks; Or whether you constantly have to step outside of your comfort zone and achieve reinvention.

That ain't just a homerun, that's a grand slam!  

I have a fourplex in Grand Prairie and hate the stupid thing though it cash flows okay.  

@Luke Gronski Be sure to try the Elk steak at The Grand Bohemian once you get to Asheville...place is amazing! 

I'm not sure if I have much in the way of suggestions if you want to continue wholesaling, but I will make an observation: at $850/mo for one year, you have spent over $10 grand without any results.

There are a number of other investors in Grand Junction.
