Currently located in a beautiful retirement/resort/vacation development called Canadian Lakes in mid-michigan (50 miles north of Grand Rapids).

I could easily drop 2 grand and have a huge list of great leads the easy way.  

Believe In Yourself Buy the ugliest house in the best neighborhood Buy cheap sell high Write your goals down and envision achieving them Take action There ...I just saved you 30 grand on a mentor Not that you got all that out of the way you can focus on reading and researching this forum to learn everything you need to know for free

I was considering Fruita, CO or Grand Junction, CO, but I don't really know those markets. 

Check your gut to make sure that you can stomach losing several hundred grand if something goes wrong.  

Flushing and Grand Blanc are also places I’ve had luck with!

I imagine these are low-cost properties, but if they are a couple hundred grand it could have just been seller agents slow to change the status on their listings?

@Greg Dickerson I fully agree and understand that in the grand scheme of RE you run a business and get people to do the work for you, including running contractors for rehab.I should have mentioned I’m in Canada.

So, now I'm taking it a little slower but know that 2-3 years in the grand scheme of things isn't THAT far away.
