I'll keep you posted if I hear of any meetups! 

I told them that it was a better idea that, instead of buying a home first, we can buy an investment property and keep renting after we build some equity, sell it and put the down payment for 2 houses or a duplex and live in one and rent the other one (for me, i could keep renting until we buy a lot of investment properties and then move to one of them), but my family wants to buy a home firts and then the investment property.Can someone give me a light of what is better or the pros and cons.Thank you so much.

This, of course, is not what the attorney wants, as he wants to reduce the number of creditors at issue so that his client can exit bankruptcy with no debts or keep some assets.   

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Was able to maximize the rental income on it through the upgrades and then I did a Cash-out Refinance DSCR to keep the property and it cash flows.

I've done a few deals on my own in and around Detroit, but I've had to dial my investing activity WAY back due  to my W2 and other personal obligations, so I'm now leaning heavily on the skills & knowledge that the Upside team brings to keep building my portfolio.This has been a fun thread to read and I love seeing the positive rapport that they've built amongst their investors.

I will keep this in mind.

I buy the 5 year warranty on all my appliances now and Lowes told me that if I keep the receipt and don’t use the warranty after 5 years I can call and get a partial refund on the price.

He is a one man show so I get it however he keeps picking up other jobs during my flips.

I am certainly open to the idea so I will keep that in mind and run it past the seller."
