@Nancy Sumners  im hoping to go the august meeting. if you enjoyed the big group you should try to get to some of the smaller meet ups. ill look for you at the august meeting..

It also set in stone how much I have to learn and educate myself on but better that I do that now as opposed to when I own a property and realize how ill-equipped I am.Many thanks Nancy!

If i live there myself, ill more than likely still be paying for a fair share of expenses?

Ill reach out to all of you by PM at some point tomorrow.

Ill assume it needs new roof since its 50 years old.closing costs: 2k ?

Ill keep you in mind when I venture into the city and maybe bounce some questions off you.

Long story really but ill try to make things as short as possible.So lets cut to the chase, I currently work as a contractor for a cable company driving around my own vehicle picking up cable boxes on suspended accounts in Detroit MI (...yes i know).

If he works alone get ill good luck to you.In CA for example you need to hire a licensed contractor for all rehab project over $600.

Ill start off by saying this potential off market deal is for a personal residence.  

I manage my own rentals, and thought of offering our tenants a "buy with me and ill tear up your lease for free" option.
