Manager of Strategic Alliances for Real Estate.

Both tactical and strategic.   

I've narrowed neighborhoods down to:-Southwest Detroit: appears a good deal could cash flow and decent appreciation potential due to Ford at Michigan Central and the Strategic Neighborhood Fund-East English Village: affordable Class A (according to ATTOM Data) is very attractive-Rosedale Park/Grandmont Rosedale: there seems to be a lot of talk about these areas so it seems foolish to completely ignore them.Given these goals, do these neighborhoods seem appropriate or do you have other recommendations?

Some things I am doing now: LLC formation, putting "we buy houses" signs up (strategically), creating landing pages to attract buyers and sellers, learn more, getting deals on paper, and sharing what I know :)

And, usually when asked by the laundry vendor what the property wants to see in a proposal, the response is all too often a vague and less than strategic response: “Just give me your best deal”.

I'd suggest avoiding opening LLC's to open LLC's as well - have a strategic plan for how to grow.  

I created the opportunity, put the team together, formulated the LLC, negotiated the price, and did all the research to ensure a low risk underwriting strategy.

I can tell the BP community experience/discussions are extremely valuable (from what I see), and I am hoping there is a local (past/present) reader who can provide specific intel to this market (Upstate South Carolina) particularly concerning advice on deal searching, hints/tips, strategic think tank views either in reply, or in private message.Thank you all for taking the time to read my Harry Potter novel of a post.
