Never again.For the last 15 years we have really been living in a prolonged recovery period, IMO.

a) Depends on above, but Detroit fits all the criteriab) Work with agents at a PMC that know investment real estate (we can handle)c) Work with a PMC that does renovations (we do)To succeed at the above, you probably want to work with a PMC that is fully transparent and supplies videos for property walk-thrus and renovation progress.

@Tim Townhill I'm late to this post but curious what progress/feedback you have since your original post?

To be honest, I am not completely confident I will be successful, but I have mentally committed to making a consistent effort towards progress.

Total build costs of 600k )this includes lot, soft/hard costs, and 60k overhead recovery to my construction companyAmortize @ 20 years, all expenses equal gross rents so break even cash flow.

Finally ready to take the plunge and actually start investing in real estate rather than just talk about it, so I upgraded to Pro.I'm focusing on BRRRR single family homes to start and as I do not own my own home, I am looking to house hack for my first deal.Still early in the education process and putting together my team, but excited to progress forward and hopefully connect with local investors.

@Scott Morgan -- Can you tell us where you are at now with FIG in July 2017; and how things have progressed to date?  

@Pete HarperHey, I was curious to see if you made any progress on your tiny home project.

That’s the natural progression for most people in life.

That makes it easier for me or my bookkeeper to identify what those expenses are for and also for me to track progress on whether I am on budget or not without having to put a bunch of effort into that.
