Ideally I'd like to develop a team for Buy & Hold properties in Houston and Colorado. 

While I'm here id like to hear the pros an cons of fixing an flipping homes from experienced investors.

Hey John, I think that Detroit is a great city to invest in and you'll certainly want a good team to help direct you to the right investments for your goals and risk tolerance.

I am interested in the BRRR strategy and house flipping and would also love to offer any services that I could potentially provide to more experienced investors in hopes of learning the ropes and getting a few deals under my belt.

Haha I can only imagine the horror stories you experienced.

I have an experienced contractor to visit the places with me and give me estimates of the renovation costs.

I don't see as much caution as is warranted by long boom that we experienced. 

@Jason ParenteYou need to find an experienced CPA who specializes in real estate to help you asap before Uncle Sam starts knocking on your door.

Its important for the audience to know you did not buy turn key... the seller maybe you got with a marketing company .. but true turnkey would have the home completely remodeled then a new VETTED tenant would go in.. there would be no hold over bad tenant like your experiencing.. someone has done you  a really bad deed here.  

I'd like to think those people who are more successful and experienced would rather help someone who's trying to get to that next level.That being said, I'd like to just move forward, and if anyone has something helpful to contribute, I look forward to hearing from you!
