I am becoming more and more interested in flipping, investing and or even working with investors/developers. 

There are pockets of Detroit that are receiving funding to develop connection throughways into downtown. 

Yeah the moving every 3 months fits into my current lifestyle well and I have plans in motion outside of real estate to develop a community in each location. 

Would urge you to develop your knowledge and firm up your investment criteria before deciding what route to pursue.

Much Appreciated,Adam  Adam,You've done well to outline a very good plan here...and I don't just say that because its the exact one I started with:)  You are wiser than most in that you've developed a solid plan rather than just jumping in.

I developed a calculator in excel that adds the rehab cost to the purchase price thus adjusting the cap rate, if the rate isn't where you want it to be lower your offer or don't make one.

There are new malls being developed in the surrounding suburbs and big corporations like Amazon and Uline  who have built warehouses in the surrounding warehouse.

So many people use yellow letters that at any given time your prospect could be getting the same piece of mail from multiple investors. 

With development at an all-time low throughout the Bay Area, I don't see prices softening significantly in the near future.I would look into getting a cash out refi on your property and purchasing a cashflowing multifamily as Jason and Calvin have suggested.

How about getting a prospect under contract and then reaching out for help in analysis, etc on this forum.
