@Richard Ball Currently living/looking in the Ferndale/Royal Oak area. 

He just wants to get the ball rolling on getting one in, and be a part of the process.

Crystal ball?...

I wish we knew who dropped the ball here, it seems part of the problem is that the rules are somewhat subjective and because the county makes developers work through a third party it makes it all that much more convoluted. 

I was thinking it would be a good idea to put all of these questions into a form that could be used to help investors, better define their investing goals, and to also help those of us who provide services to these investors, better understand our client's goals.I checked the forms area on BP and I didn't find any such form so I figured I would start this conversation and get as much input from the BP community and then I will create the form and post it to the forms section.I'll get the ball rolling with a few questions (in no particular order) that I always ask:What experience, if any, do you have with real estate investing?

Throw in a low ball offer, with a big deposit and do your inspection before with no inspection contingency on the offer you submit.

There were many moth balled development that are now in full swing of development with the econmonmy doing so well.

I respect the agent's time and don't plan to put in low-ball offers with little chance of success.

Hoping to get the ball rolling with the next several weeks. 

It was my parents' suggestion that I should profit off of them selling their houses that got the ball rolling again on "should I get my RE license" but I didn't know if it'd be worth it (and to what degree) if in a year's time, I barely recouped the financial investment I made into just getting licensed/registered as an REA through the commissions of the houses, not including the time invested studying/testing/away from work and play.I know on the podcasts Josh jokes about Detroit, and seeing it first hand, I can see why as some of the pockets of the city are off-putting, but much like San Diego (from Oceanside all the way down to San Ysidro) there are surrounding areas that have piqued my interest, I just need to get boots on the ground once I'm there and see if these all pencil out.
