Hey Brian, I would love to connect!

I own and manage several STRs here in Atlanta as well would love to connect!

I've connected with a few international developers as well as many international investors here on BiggerPockets.

What I'm trying to understanding better is creative financing, analyzing the surrounding markets, making connections, and many of the other industry-specific concepts that can really only be learned through real-life experience.The idea of REI came about between myself and my friends because one of them has access to a large amount of capital that he received from his parents as a gift.

Would be happy to connect and share with you my experience with both.

Detroit is intriguing to me and from the folks I have connected with, I see value there. 

Thought it would be nice to start participating in the forums and connecting with others, so here we go!

Primarily focused on Multifamily real estate and House hacking.I look forward to connecting!
