I primarily invest in Grand Rapids, MI, but my partner and I are looking to get into the Detroit market is some fashion, whether that’s investing or property management.

I'm currently located out of town for a work assignment but plan to return to PDX within the next year, and am looking to scale a RE portfolio rapidly over the next year. 

Example: one of my 3/2 homes i bought $135k renovated it with $35k and it yealds $1800 /mo while the home is now worth $270k and my initial value goal was $220k, the homes in this area increased rapidly due to GreatSchool district and lack of great schools while many are now moving to the area, Zillow states increases of 10% per year in appreciation.

@Cody Malave - house hacking by the room is a great way to earn the maximum cash flow possible.I was lucky enough to be a tenant in a friends house hack in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Not far from Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City.Is there someone who would like to grab a drink and talk about real estate investing in residential MFH?

One topic i've been wanting to talk about with other investors is buying in a rapidly gentrifying area and renting said property.

So I have an opportunity to market an area that is in rapid change.

I got a bid on a house in Grand Rapids mi for 75k$ for a total gut which in thought would have been around 40.Thanks,

The values in my neighborhood are going up rapidly so my plan is to hold onto as a rental and take a HELOC to use the cash for flips or rentals.

Welcome - there is a Grand Rapids meet up every month.
