I'm interested in networking, an exploring opportunities, so feel free to network with me as well.Thank You for this opportunity on stage.

As a kid my brother and the other boys in my neighborhood would watch A-team and MacGyver because they realised that there was always component left out when they would construct their diversions and explosions.

I can definitely see your initial concerns and coming from a more media-friendly big city myself (San Diego), i can see where the hesitation may be in exploring a city like Detroit all by your lonesome.I've recently relocated here and the more I do research and  get my bearings, the more comfortable I'm becoming in narrowing down my areas I'd want to invest in.

I've been considering other up-and-coming areas, but have been concerned about my safety doing so, particularly after a tour a couple of weeks ago with Joe Calloway turned up a squatter in one of his properties that we were in, and his saying that he now requires two people to enter any of his vacant properties.It's also great to see other Marin denizens, and other "boomerang" kids!  

Unless you think the parents are in severe financial distress and simply don't have the money, I would think that paying their kid's rent while the kid is at university is pretty high up there on the priorities list.I am imagining how the late rent scenario would play out:  Student calls mom and dad crying, asking "I'm getting evicted right before exams because you guys didn't pay the rent???"  

@Paulette, I wouldn't doubt it at all "Playing in some of the same areas" as a kid lived all over, G-Town, SP, West, SW, learned life from Erie Ave.Would love a chance to get you what your looking for, there maybe a few things now I have access to.

The mother died, both kids live out of state and hopefully we can get it for a great price.I ran the numbers, and looking into other possibilities of splitting the lot up to sell (one of few double lots in high value area) and all looks good based on mostly equity with some cash flow.What I am trying to figure out is how we can set up this partnership, we have talked about an LLC and we are pretty sure the bank will not loan to me in an LLC (they are double checking, small local bank).

I can do those.PM me if you would like to explore options.Upen PatelMortgage Banker

We're exploring the idea of purchasing a duplex/triplex together so she can live in one unit while we rent out the other unit(s).  

I want to network and explorer opportunities with like minded investors in DFW Texas area as well as other areas in South Florida - Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach areas.
