oid=2111416This ad has the pictures.I also see that initial day I put in Craigslist , I get atleast 5 calls and from next day they fall off rapidly.

I more than doubled my money in 2 years investing in Beijing through rapid appreciation so I'm not complaining:) but looking at that $5k per month goal is what keeps me working hard at real estate. 

Presently looking in a fairly large area; west as far as EP, North (Coon Rapids), East (St Paul) and South (Bloomington/Burnsville).Primarily interested in SFR, small multi family (1-4) aiming for either turnkey or BRRRR as I'm unable to househack at the moment. 

Account Closed I agree the system is dated and will need to evolve rapidly or perish but not because of illegal or immoral dealings.Here on planet earth Real Estate Commission rules to not give one the advantage of insider trading or bank robbery.

United Bank in Grand Rapids.

I invest in Grand Rapids but severa of the sourounding communities also offer great buy and hold options.

Rapid response from your Realtor is essential. 

Sounds very similar to what is going on around here in Grand Rapids, MI.You gotta be fast, but not only that, you'll more then likely need to go above the asking price for the MLS houses.Everyone and their neighbor seems to be reinterested in real estate again!

Evolution if you will.
