Even when we manage to reach a working voicemail,owners often assume we are just another "we buy land" serviceoffering far below market value.Given thesechallenges, we are eager to learn the most effective strategies for locatingpotential sellers and establishing a professional, trustworthy connection thatencourages serious consideration of our offers.Telephone/voicemail is informal, hence casual, hence “we aren’t putting much effort into this.”

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

I was able to rent the property by room and it cash flows about $200/month so far.

There are more factors than just the community (#beds, level of theming, location to the amenities, style of home (single family, townhome, condo) and others) But I would strongly advise to stay within some of the same communities you mentioned like Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Championsgate and a few others if cash flow is your goal.

But if you do want to invest out of state where cash flow is higher, I think it's worth narrowing down where you think the best markets are and then find a way to take a trip for a couple days or so. 

Every Market (Detroit) is made up of a series of Micro-markets (neighborhoods) of which they are all different in cost, value, cash flow, rents, etc...

The investor who bought this home owns an asset that is cash flow positive from day one and one that will benefit from all 5 profit centers of rental property investing for many years to come.

Due to high premiums, expenses increase, and cap rates and cash flow potential decrease.

What the investor will have is a long term appreciating asset; that will provide an increasing cash flow as rental rates increase, and steady amortization as the note is paid down.  

Hey Romeo, I would build up some cash flow and try to find some partners in your network that have the funds to get started in RE but are hesitant since they never purchased anything yet.
