I am actually in Sheridan, Michigan, which is roughly equidistant between Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Mount Pleasant.

Of course some rich people want things their way and like to throw their weight around, but strike up a conversation and see where it goes.

The area in which I live is rapidly growing but short-term rentals outweigh long-term 99-1.

It would be its weight in gold to find a rockstar agent instead of becoming one, unless you are going to push forward as an agent and sell/buy for others on top of your investing.

In fact, track record holds so much weight, some times you need not bring any of your money into a deal. 

I’m an investor looking to JV, network with other investors in Davenport Iowa, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty and West Branch Iowa.

It is worth noting that sales price continues to climb but with more options available to buyers and the daunting weight of increasing interest rates, buyers have the ability to be more discerning with home purchases in the MSA.  

It's like with weight loss strategies or dating strategies: what works for you can be a total disaster for me.Case in point:  @Jim Pfeifer's "lazy 1031" strategy.

Hello all, I know interest rates are rising rapidly.

But at the same time, the community has appreciated rapidly in the past 2 years and we feel will continue rising.We are just afraid to back out of this opportunity over $10K, but we are also weary as this could make our financial situation more difficult for the next year or so.
