And here is an anecdote from a mortgage lender: “I work in mortgage and I think this is huge for us.

Hey BPers, my wife and I are about to sign a contract for a multi-family in the SA area.  

These minimums are helping me with gather my 6 month emergency savings,  and growing my net worth overall, and I don't find myself wondering when the next paycheck is coming. 

I'm in Livonia / Canton area and I haven't attended any Washtenaw County or Ann Arbor REIA events but I do attend the Oakland County REAI meeting in Troy as well as the Michigan REIA meetings in Troy and they are super helpful and if you sign up to get their emails you can check the topics in advance to make sure it's worth the trip for that meeting.They usually have really good speakers. 

I know the properties you're looking at and I don't see that area turning around just yet.  

I am in Milwaukee, WI and I use the WLB lease format to sign fixed-term yearly leases with my tenants.

Direct mail has a very low response rate and I mostly just see the big boys who are going 7 figures do it, who don't mind spending 10-20k+ month on blowing out towns of letters/postcards.

I am from Michigan and I am looking to buy in Detroit and suburbs around Detroit.

My name is Alex and I am a new investor with a desire to start a section 8 rental company.

I do not usually avoid this type of confrontation but I would not take on this fight and I have had on-going cases for 3 years (new one started before previous is settled).
