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.  

I did talk to a bank about pulling some out - unfortunately, I've only owned it six years and the market up here does not appreciate rapidly.

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

I've sort of been thinking that I might do a big renovation in a few years on the property I've had longest (nearly 15 years) -- it's the smallest house with the lowest rent, in the most rapidly appreciating neighborhood -- and then sell it.

My husband and I are brand new to REI and we're looking for our first single family rental property in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area.

If you own land close by you are probably aware of the rapid increases in land values based on a strong economy and the proximity to the Domain (the new Downtown) just 2 miles away.

Ontario is ahead of the curve in this and electricity has been rapidly rising at an annualised rate of 7% for over a decade.
