(The same reason many people (maybe mostly men?)

In my experience, most properties that go to auction end up overpriced so I'd be prepared to attend a LOT in order to get something that worked on paper.When I attended my first market auction with an experienced agent the advice he gave me was to figure out my maximum beforehand and stick to it (Seems obvious but people get caught up in winning).

Another thing, the threads move down the forums rather quickly because it's so busy, so the odds of your post being seen for long by very many people is minimal. 

The cost breakout seems very helpful too I think that will help a lot of people.

Now here is some advice many will disagree with me on but I firmly committed to this:  Most people that use a VA loan shouldn't.  

But wanted to ask here what other people have done or if you have any ideas.

And you’re still not in Nazi Germany.BUT, Donald Trump is about to make a lot of people rich.

If enough people reach out, eventually it would be great to start a meetup group for STR investors in the area.

Reach out to them/me if you would like to get on the list to meet some people!

Looking to connect with people who have some local knowledge of Detroit.
